Over the past decade, Halyomorpha halys has become one of the main threats to hazelnut production. Its trophic activity makes kernels inedible due to strongly detrimental effects on the organoleptic quality. Its management in Italy is still tricky du...

Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) is grown commercially in many countries, including China, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, India, Australia, and Hawaii. Thailand is the second largest producer and largest exporter of longan in the world...

Citrus greening disease (CGD), or Huanglongbing (HLB), is principal in Citrus farming because of its severe damage, decreased yield, poor quality of fruit, and frequent disappearance before harvest. Present research blended silver nanoparticles (AgNP...

Table grapes are one of the leading fruit species cultivated in several countries due to their distinguishing sensory and nutritional properties. However, grapes are a non-climacteric fruit with relatively low physiological activity after harvest, an...

In the last decades, consumers have become increasingly interested in organic products, and they strongly demand reliability in the traceability of the organic products they buy and eat. Several research methods have been developed in the last decade...

Okra is a vegetable crop adapted to summer temperatures, but heat stress has been shown to reduce its growth and productivity. We measured physiological traits of 104 okra genotypes in response to high temperature, augmented by the molecular characte...

A transition towards an organic food system is taking place around the world. This process is favored by growing consumer demand, who associate organic crops with being healthier, tastier, and safer for the environment than conventional crops. Citrus...

In the last five decades, the use of rootstocks and scions has changed, along with their systems of cultivation. Associated with climate change, fruit trees face new ecological and phytopathological challenges. Rootstocks affect the generative and ve...

Interstocks have been used in fruit tree cultivation to regulate tree size and improve fruit production and quality. In this study, several Huanglongbing (HLB)-tolerant open-pollinated pummelo interstock candidates were evaluated as interstocks betwe...

The effects of combinations of oxalic acid (OA) treatment with modified atmosphere packaging on the quality and biochemical content changes of rocket (Eruca sativa Mill. cv. Bengi) leaves were examined. After harvest, selected leaves were dipped into...
