three sites in October 2002. Individuals were washed with a pressure hose then dried to a constant weight in a forced air drier at 40 °C. Both fresh and dry weights were recorded with percent moisture calculated for 384 individuals from three sites

an aluminum pan, dried at 70 °C for about 2 d until a constant, final dry weight was obtained ( AOAC International, 2000 ); percent moisture content was calculated [fresh weight basis (FWB)]. Clamshell weight was tracked during storage and percent

extractor and positive air pressures were applied at 3.8, 10, 20, 40, 50, 75, 100, 200, and 300 cm H 2 O. Volume outflow was recorded for each increment of pressure and converted to percent moisture of the substrate volume. There were four replications for

were identified within the range of 2.1–2.3. Subsequently, all compost samples were considered to be stable products for use in the industry. Although some of the samples did not have the ideal levels of percent moisture and percent solids indicated in

treatment plot was shipped overnight to Brookside Laboratories (New Bremen, OH) for analysis of fruit percent moisture on 8 July 2013 and 7 July 2014. Senescing floricanes were removed by pruning at the base of the plant (≈0.1 m high) after fruit harvest on

whether there was a change after onset of drought, so time (initial and final percent moisture) was introduced as a factor. Thus, moisture measurements were analyzed as a 2 × 3 × 2 factorial. Letter groupings were generated using least-squares means at a 5

(number 4 Nozzle mini-Wobbler®; Senninger Irrigation, Clermont, FL) when average volumetric water content in any treatment fell below 10%. Percent moisture was measured weekly using a TH 2 O Soil Moisture Meter (Delta-T Devices; Cambridge, England

were measured for percent moisture content. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and correlation analysis, when appropriate, using statistical software (SAS v9.3; SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Data were plotted as means with error bars representing

mixed and subjected to the same extraction and nutrient analysis described previously. Likewise, three bags for each temperature and moisture level treatment combination were measured for percent moisture content. Data were subjected to analysis of

. Samples were dried to constant weight at 60 °C and weighed. Percent moisture and dry matter content were determined. For carbohydrate analyses, one slice from each of two cured storage roots per entry was quickly diced and combined. A 10-g sample of tissue
