Plant Samples
Pre-harvest evaluation data
- Identify your plant sample in the field with a QR-code.
- Characterise plant phenology, growth, architecture, flowering, fruit set and presence of pests, diseases and disorders.
- Measure plant dimensions, trunk circumference and total yield.
- Add photos and notes to your evaluation.
Harvest Samples
Post-harvest evaluation data
- Identify your harvest sample in the laboratory/storage with a QR-code.
- Characterise harvest ripening, internal and external appearance, storage diseases and disorders.
- Measure dimensions, weight, TSS, acidity and firmness.
- Add photos and notes to your evaluation.
"The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight."

Standarised Evaluation
Standardise your evaluation procedures and practises with Provar's industry leading evaluation protocols to ensure accurate and comparable data across evaluation sites and countries.
Protocols define which characteristics and measurements are relevant to the specific sample type, crop type and purpose of evaluation. Every procedure, recordable-characteristic and -measurement is documented in the Provar Evaluation Manual.

Harvest evaluation is performed to characterise new cultivars and selections on the base of their fruit traits. Visual and sensory fruit evaluation are applied to describe fruit quality and keeping ability after storage over a specified storage period. Characteristics such as colour and pattern, shapes and symmetry, defects and disorders and eating quality are evaluated in detail.
