- Neofabraea spp.: one of the major pathogens of apple storage
- Research questions
- Pinova storage trial 2023
- Experimental Design
- Implementation of the Mat Tiempo box
- Mat Tiempo boxes significantly decreased the level of infection
- Pinova 2024 storage trial: Ozone treatment
- Pinova 2024 storage trial
- Experimental design: inoculation protocol with and without lesions
- Wounds ensure a high rate of infection
- Spore monitoring season 2024
- Establishing qPCR method to identify Neofabraea spores
- Neofabraea spores were detected all season
