Sizing cherry fruit with antitranspirant sprays
A film-forming antitranspirant sprayed on Bing cherry trees 10 days before harvest improved the water status resulting in fruit size increases of 15%, without affecting dry weight. Application too early (3 weeks before harvest) reduced dry weight, however.

A fully edible wheat bran–algae substrate is fabricated through scalable mould‐compression and spray‐coating, enabling robust, food‐grade platforms for sustainable electronics. A chitosan barrier improves water resistance and ink compatibility, while activated‐carbon conductive films form uniform electrodes with Ohmic behaviour.

Artificial Shade Reduces ‘Bartlett’ Pear Fruit Size and Influences Fruit Quality
Abstract ‘Bartlett’ pear (Pyrus communis L.) branches were shaded at 0%, 30%, 50%, 65%, and 82.5% with polyethylene shade fabric from 50 days after full bloom until harvest. Fruit weight, firmness, and soluble solids concentration (SSC) were assessed at harvest.

Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?
ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...
