Phosphonate-based products have demonstrated diverse abilities to protect crops against pests, with various modes of action proposed. In this article, we specifically investigated potassium phosphonate (KHP) on apple crops. Its performance to control three major apple bioagressors (, , and ) was evaluated under semicontrolled conditions.

- * The study focused on how different weather conditions before and after harvest influenced superficial scald in "Granny Smith" apples, noting variations in years with low and high scald incidents.
- * Results showed that specific stress-responsive genes, especially Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs), were linked to lower scald rates and could serve as early indicators to predict the risk of scald during and after harvest.
