Role of Columella and Inner Pericarp in Kiwifruit Compression Behaviour: A Finite Element Analysis

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Kiwifruit compression occurs throughout postharvest handling, including picking, packing, transport and storage. Kiwifruit deforms differently under compression depending on its firmness, with tissue‐specific behaviours. The outer pericarp flesh is the most vulnerable to damage; simultaneously, its deformation depends on not only the mechanical ...

Tree Cultivation in Hydroponic Systems: Effects of Substrate Type and Electrical Conductivity on Nutrient Status and Growth in Soilless Fig Tree

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
The fig tree has traditionally been cultivated in open fields for its fruit. However, recent advancements have enabled the cultivation of fruit trees in greenhouses. This study investigates the effects of hydroponic cultivation of fig trees, focusing on growth parameters and nutritional status under two substrates, coconut coir and pumice, and three ...

Ozonated irrigation in vineyards: limited effects on soil bacterial and fungal microbiota

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2746-2757, March 2026.
Irrigation with ozonated water caused slight changes in bacterial composition but did not significantly affect microbial diversity, beneficial microbes (plant growth‐promoting bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), or grapevine trunk disease‐related pathogens.
