Effects of Different Forcing Date on Growth of Pineapple Fruit

The differences of pineapple fruit growth and total soluble sugar were studied in three different forcing times with pineapple Ananas comosusr cv. Yellow Mauritius. The results showed that the crown height, fruit length and fruit diameter of pineapple forced on 9th September were lower than the other forcing date at the same time after forcing. However, the content of total soluble sugar in fruits forced on 9th September was significantly higher than the other forcing date treatments.
