Fruiting induction, block handling and any soaking or temperature treatment must follow the validated block and strain protocol. Do not apply an arbitrary cold-water duration from a different production system. Record the treatment actually used, the block condition before and after it, and the subsequent pinning response.
Manage fruiting air, moisture and light with observations at crop level. After harvest, follow the programme for block recovery and later flushes rather than assuming the next treatment can begin immediately. Keep later-flush output and losses separate from the first flush so that total block performance is visible.
