number and size of oil extraction facilities ( Agar et al., 1998 ). Therefore, short-term storage of olive fruit before oil extraction can provide a buffer which will enable more efficient use of both harvest facilities and the mill. Several papers have

early season (first 20 d) has a direct and significant impact on storage root initiation and thus final yield. Sweetpotato is grown as a rain-fed crop in Mississippi and subjected to fluctuating soil moisture conditions in the field. Sweetpotato is also

1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP; SmartFresh; AgroFresh, Spring House, PA) is used widely in the apple industry to control postharvest ripening and quality loss of apples in storage ( Fan et al., 1999 ; Watkins et al., 2000 ). The product is applied

documented. Therefore, the objectives of this field study were to quantify rates of photosynthesis (P n ) and whole plant respiration (R w ) rates as well as carbohydrate levels [i.e., water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC), storage carbohydrates (SC), and total
