The influence of exogenously applied 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on fruit drop and quality of navel oranges (Citrus sinensis L.)

open access: yes, 2010
Orchard experiments were carried out in Botswana with the objective of evaluating the effect of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on reducing premature fruit drop.

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Moderate plant water stress reduces fruit drop of "Rojo Brillante" persimmon (Diospyros kaki) in a Mediterranean climate

open access: yes, 2013
Spring fruit drop is a crucial determinant for yield in persimmon trees. Several environmental and tree endogenous factors can determine the magnitude of this physiological phenomenon.

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Effects of relative humidity on banana fruit drop

open access: yes, 2007
Commercial ripening of banana fruit occurs at high relative humidity (RH), which prevents browning of damaged skin areas. In experiments with ripening at high RH (94 ± 1%) the individual fruit (fingers) of `Sucrier¿ (Musa acuminata, AA Group) banana ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...
