Abstract: Methods for improving the properties and productivity of plants are described. The methods include contacting the above-ground biomass of a plant with a composition that includes a monoglyceride. Applying the composition to the above-ground biomass can improve properties of the plant, including improved resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, and can provide post-harvest benefits (e.g., extended shelf-life) to plant products (e.g., fruits or vegetables) that have not been harvested from the plant.

Abstract: Some embodiments of a coating system can include a conveyor and an infrared panel positioned above the conveyor, where the infrared panel outputs infrared energy toward the conveyor bed, a coating device positioned above a brush bed that dispenses coating material towards the brush bed, wherein the brush bed is configured to receive products; and a drying station comprising a rolling conveyor downstream from the brush bed.

Abstract: A method of treating a perishable item with a coating is described. In one embodiment, the method includes identifying operational parameters associated with a drying tunnel, identifying a desired coating requirement, determining optimal drying tunnel parameters based on the operational parameters and the desired coating requirements, and operating the drying tunnel based on the optimal drying tunnel parameters.

Abstract: Methods of forming a protective coating on a surface of one or more substrates. The methods include providing a mixture including a coating agent in a solvent, forming a fog from the mixture, allowing the fog to contact the outer surface of the one or more substrates so that a portion of the mixture accumulates on at least a portion of the surface of the one or more substrates. The solvent from the mixture is then at least partially removed from the surface of the one or more substrates, e.g., by evaporation or forced convection, causing a protective coating to be formed from the coating agent on at least a part of the surfaces of the one or more substrates. The protective coating can, for example, protect at least to some extent the substrates from biotic or abiotic stressors such as mass or moisture loss, oxidation, mold, fungi, or infestation.
