To determine the effect of evaporative cooling systems and variety on postharvest quality, decay and shelf life of day neutral strawberries grown in a high tunnel.
The main goal was to provide students, farmers, traders, marketers, and agriculture extension educators who are working with fresh produce, the tools necessary to improve the quality and shelf life of their products and consequently reduce postharvest losses in Tanzania.
Improve the efficiency of storage and distribution of specialty crops in Kansas using modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and ozonated water to increase produce shelf life, quality and safety.
Reduce decay of locally grown produce by optimizing postharvest treatments, develop novel digital tools for assessing crop losses on the farm, and disseminate the result of our work to stakeholders.
