Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Emulsified carnauba wax decreased transmission of ultraviolet radiation.
- Intervention effect Adding organically modified clay to the wax emulsion enhanced reflectivity.
- Intervention effect The carnauba wax and organoclay emulsion was more effective in protecting apples from sunburn browning than from sunburn necrosis.
- Intervention effect Spraying the formulation on apple trees caused no phytotoxicity on leaves or fruit.
- Observation The formulation indicated no effect on photosynthesis or transpiration of apple trees.
