- Abstract
Different light filters affect leaf photosynthetic features and fruit quality. Consequently, selecting the appropriate covering filter for rain-shelter cultivation of peaches is a key part of successful production. We used a late-maturing peach variety ‘Xiahui 8’ to study differences in leaf photosynthetic features, chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics, and fruit quality under neutral, red, yellow, green, and blue filter, with natural light as control. The results showed that the leaf photosynthetic ability and internal quality under the neutral filter treatment were elevated compared with the control, and the appearance color was the same as the control. Leaves under neutral filter could maintain higher photosynthetic ability than other filter treatments. In addition, the fruits could also keep higher quality when treated with neutral filter. Therefore, the application of neutral filter in rain-shelter cultivation of ‘Xinhui 8’ peaches is recommended for maintaining high photosynthetic capacity and for improving fruit quality.
