Hands-on event featuring the Felix Instruments Avocado Quality Meter coming soon to Valencia, Spain

FELIX INSTRUMENTS will be hosting a free event (lunch provided) on Wednesday, December 11 th to avocado growers, packers and distributors to educate on the use of near infrared technology in agriculture and fruit maturity measurement. The Avocado Quality Meter, released by Felix Instruments earlier this year, enables avocado growers and QA personnel to measure dry matter more quickly and more accurately, while eliminating the need to destroy measured fruit. With validation studies showing highly accurate readings of less than 1 dry matter unit, along with significant cost savings in man hours and fruit waste, the avocado industry is quickly adopting this new technology as their standard methodfor measuring dry matter. The event will offer growers and distributors:- Stories and case studies of how the device has transformed agriculture operations from growers to packing houses- A comparison of the Avocado Quality Meter to existing methods to measure dry matter- A live, hands-on demonstration in which attendees will be able to try the device themselves- Principles of operation- Integration with orchard mapping software, FruitMaps (crop data visualization)- Best practices and field use with the tool The event will also highlight the use of the Felix Instruments’ Mango Quality Meter and its newest tool to be released in early 2020, the Kiwi Quality Meter. Each of these tools improve measurement accuracy, while reducing the previously lengthy and destructive measurement process to a matter of seconds without having to pull any fruit from the tree.
