    Production of a Starch-Based Polymeric Coating with Incorporation of Bioactive Principles from Chemical Synthesis to Extend the Shelf Life of Cavendish Banana

    Crown rot is a severe postharvest disease affecting tropical and subtropical fruits like mango, avocado, papaya, and banana. It is caused by fungal pathogens that penetrate the fruit, reducing its pulp and leading to premature ripening. Systemic fungicides have been used to control these fungi, typically applied to seeds, leaves, or fruits to prevent disease spread. However, traditional fungici...

    Transforming Agriculture: Advancements in Compost-Biopolymers Composites for Enhanced Sustainability

    In the Cesar Department in Colombia, sustainable agriculture faces critical challenges despite its thriving livestock sector. Extensive cattle ranching and poor soil management worsen soil conditions. Additionally, significant environmental concerns arise from the substantial discharge of wastewater in the dairy processing industry. This study aims to valorize biosolids derived from wastewater ...
