🎉New paper published in Agriculture: 📃”Microclimate Condition Influence on the Physicochemical Properties and Antioxidant Activity of Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.): A Case Study of the East Adriatic Coast” by Mira Radunić, Maja Jukić Špika, Jelena Gadze, Smiljana Goreta Ban, Juan Carlos Díaz Pérez & Dan MacLean.

This study aims to fill this gap by investigating how different microclimatic conditions affect the physical, chemical, and antioxidant properties of ‘Barski slatki’ pomegranates, the predominant local cultivar on the eastern Adriatic coast. Understanding these microclimatic interactions is essential not only for improving cultivation practices and postharvest handling, but also for advancing varietal selection and increasing the market potential of fruit destined for both fresh consumption and value-added processing.
