description Cape gooseberry fruits have positioned in the world market due to their excellent nutritional characteristics, because they are an ideal food that contributes to raising the defenses of the human body and helps it to face diseases such as COVID-19, they are also a natural source of antioxidants and anticancer agents. In order to avoid the physiopathy of cracking in cape gooseberry fruits, these were characterized at harvest time, coming from greenhouse plants irrigated with different applications of water levels and irrigation frequencies, as well as different calcium doses, in a design of randomized complete blocks with 12 treatments. The blocks were the irrigation frequencies (4, 9 and 14 days), while the treatments were the combination of four irrigation coefficients (0.7, 0.9, 1.1 and 1.3 of the evaporation of the tank class A) and three doses of calcium (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1). The plants were sown in 20 L pots with peat moss substrate.  Fruits were harvested at the color stage 5 and 6 of the calyx, from 19 weeks after transplanting. The different water levels and irrigation frequencies did not significantly affect the firmness of the cape gooseberry fruits, but there was a strong tendency that cracked gooseberry fruits are less firm than healthy fruits. As the irrigation coefficient increased, the total soluble solids (TSS) increased while the total titratable acids (TTA) decreased. Irrigation frequency of 14 days generated fruits with higher TSS and pH values. The calcium doses did not affect the calcium concentration in the fruits or the TSS, TTA and pH values. Therefore, it can be concluded that incremented irrigation coefficients (up to 1.3) increase the quality of cape gooseberry fruits.

Los frutos de uchuva se han posicionado en el mercado mundial por sus excelentes características nutricionales debido a que son un alimento ideal que contribuye a elevar las defensas del cuerpo humano y lo ayuda a hacer frente a enfermedades como el COVID-19, además son fuente natural de antioxidantes y agentes anticancerígenos. Con el fin de evitar la fisiopatía del rajado en los frutos de uchuva, estos fueron caracterizados al momento de la cosecha, provenientes de plantas bajo invernadero regadas con diferentes aplicaciones de láminas y frecuencias de riego, así como distintas dosis de calcio, en un diseño de bloques completos al azar con 12 tratamientos. Los bloques fueron las frecuencias de riego (4, 9 y 14 días), mientras que los tratamientos fueron la combinación de cuatro coeficientes de riego (0,7; 0,9; 1,1 y 1,3 de la evaporación del tanque de clase A) y tres dosis de calcio (0, 50 y 100 kg ha-1). Las plantas fueron sembradas en materas de 20 L con sustrato de turba rubia. Los frutos fueron cosechados al estado de color 5 y 6 del cáliz, a partir de 19 semanas del transplante. Las diferentes láminas y frecuencias de riego no afectaron significativamente la firmeza de los frutos de uchuva, no obstante, se presentó una tendencia fuerte en cuanto a que los frutos rajados son menos firmes que los sanos. A medida que se incrementó el coeficiente de riego, los sólidos solubles totales (SST) aumentaron mientras que la acidez total titulable (ATT) disminuyó. La frecuencia de riego de 14 días generó frutos con mayores valores de SST y pH. Las dosis de calcio aplicadas no afectaron la concentración de calcio en los frutos ni los valores de SST, ATT, pH, ni los parámetros de color. Los frutos provenientes de plantas regadas cada 14 días fueron más oscuros, y presentaron menor luminosidad. Por lo tanto, se puede concluir que los coeficientes de riego incrementados (hasta 1.3) aumentan la calidad de los frutos de uchuva.
