Postharvest chlorine dioxide spray as a strategy to maintain quality in ‘Monterrey’ strawberry fruits Commercial strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is valued for its quality attributes and its antioxidant content; however, its rapid softening and microbial susceptibility limit their postharvest quality. This study evaluated chlorine dioxide (ClO2) spray at 3 and 5 ppm on the postharvest physiology...

✨ Key Findings While #artificial leaf wounding did not significantly change cluster size or yield, strategically timed, #lateseason #treatments (1 and 5 days before harvest) significantly enhanced #phenolic and #anthocyanin content in both 'Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Merlot'.
