Seasonal and regional variations in kiwifruit storage quality imply a weather effect. This is perhaps mediated via fruit transpiration and fruit mineral nutrition. Concurrent measurements of fruit transpiration and weather are modelled to predict cumulative fruit transpiration throughout the season.
