Effect of preharvest boron spraying on the firmness and microstructure of winter‐harvested frozen broccoli among maturity types
Preharvest B spraying enhances the firmness of freeze-thawed broccoli grown at low temperatures by increasing cell wall rigidity and minimizing cell structure damage. Nonetheless, B application cannot fully overcome the consequences of exposure to low temperatures before harvest. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
