Photo shows lead researcher, Dr Wiebke Kämper, in a yellow protective coat and wearing blue-green gloves. She is on the left hand side of the photo applying the treatment to sweet cherry trees during the field trial in Lower Saxony, Germany. The rest of the picture (left hand side) shows green leaves on cherry trees, orchard and sky. Thanks to Wiebke for the image.

The photo shows an orchard of cherry trees. The treated sweet cherry trees (left) are flowering later than untreated trees (right), showing the effect of the treatment on the timing of blossoming. The ground looks lush and green. Thanks to Dr Wiebke Kämper for the image.
