Fungicides used on postharvest bananas
There is little information available on the postharvest behavior of bananas after the application of fungicides in the Registro-SP region. This study aims to evaluate the soluble solids (ºBrix), pH, and total acidity of the bananas after the application of fungicides. The experimental outline was c...
