What was it all about?

Contracted in late 2018, this investment conducted a review of technologies currently available for protecting against apple and pear storage disorders, including superficial scalding and internal browning. It also produced recommendations on ways to decontaminate facilities of diphenylamine (DPA), which is currently used to reduce these disorders.
