temperate, climacteric fruit ( Guohua et al., 2012 ; Hayama et al., 2006 ; Minas et al., 2018 ; Tonutti et al., 1991 ; Zhang et al., 2011 ) undergoes rapid ripening, which accounts for its short shelf life and represents a serious constraint for its
emerging, thereby presenting a major constraint to the root growth in the early stages of plant development (C. Estay, unpublished data). In the seedling trees, grafting also reduced the root and shoot biomass. Studies with macadamia seedling trees ( Firth
the value of what they are learning and become more actively engaged ( Resnick, 1989 ). The hands-on aspect of developing the exhibit introduced students to the many challenges related to budgets, real deadlines, and the logistics of the construction
accumulation breaking and stripping flowers from the plant, and water restrictions due to regulatory requirements or physical limitations of the irrigation system ( Perry, 1998 ; Poling, 2008 ; Snyder and Melo-Abreu, 2005 ). Given these constraints, growers
developed countries are under increasing pressure to maintain profitability within new environmental constraints, such as the European Union (EU) nitrates directive 91/676/EEC ( EU, 1991 ), the EU water framework directive 2000/60/EC ( 1991 ), and the recent

few testers uses resources more efficiently than a single test with many subjects. For low-budget projects, two testers can be optimal ( Nielsen, 2012 ). The objective of this article is to detail how a unique horticultural mobile app was created to
