Abstract
Weekly phenology and fruit quality data were taken over four years on two Sardinian areas covering the geographical and climatic range of the region.
Accumulated Degree-Days were calculated using the single sine method in order to check the response of kiwifruit to different environmental conditions.
The accuracy of the Degree-Day (°D) model was tested in terms of variability of accumulated heat and occurrence of phenological stages.
The analysis of the °D model results showed that 10 °C threshold provides a better prediction of phenological stage occurrence in comparison to the 8 °C threshold.
Regression of the dates of phenological stage occurrence and number of accumulated °D showed that the model accounted for 96% of the variance in the two sites.
Fruit quality data showed the effect of different air temperature range on acid and soluble solids content during the ripening stage.
