Apple orchards grazed in France

, 2017
Why graze orchards with sheep? Sheep can reduce the cost of grass mowing in orchards and promote nutrient retention and cycling within the orchard. They can can eat fallen leaves (a refuge for apple scab spores) and fruits (a refuge for pests such as sawfly andcodling moth) which should result in reduced need for pesticide applications.

Residence Near Agricultural Crops at Birth and Risk of Adult Testicular Germ Cell Tumors: A French Nationwide Case–Control Study Using Historical Aerial GIS Data

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1153-1166, 1 September 2026.
As the incidence of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) rises, prenatal exposure to agricultural pesticides may represent an important risk factor. Here, geographic information system‐based measures of farmland proximity at birth were used as a proxy for early‐life pesticide exposure in France, a major pesticide consumer.

Unleashing the power of visible‐near infrared spectroscopy: predicting Golden Delicious apple enzyme activity

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7503-7511, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Enzymatic browning is a significant reaction in fruits that affects their color, appearance, and quality. The quality of apples, as a perishable product, is mainly influenced by the activity of two browning‐related enzymes, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD), during storage.
