Research conducted at the USDA Tropical Agricultural Station evaluated agronomic potential of Maiden plantain, assessing non-microbiological shelf life and Maricongo cultivars to determine whether would be suitable replace or supplement Maricongo. Data showed that averaged 26.2 days reach maturity stage 7, while required 22.7 days. However, both took around 40 senescence. In other parameters ev...

It is reported here that the phytochemicals present on surface of Musa paradisiaca (MPL) prevent water and other corroding agents from having direct access to mild steel. These were extracted MPL using 70% Ethanol solution Weight Loss experiment was carried out with variation temperature, time concentration HCl extract in % v/v. The inhibition eFFect M. leaves steel aqueous solutions Hydrochlor...

Con el objeto de establecer la evapotranspiración (ETc) y coeficiente cultivo (Kc) para banano cultivado en condiciones tropicales, a través lisímetros drenajes se midió consumo agua del al 100% ETc, estrés hídrico, 40, 60 80% ETc. En época crítica (agosto diciembre), 100, 80, 40% ETc fue 227.78, 79.81, 65.24 52.66 mm, respectivamente, mientras, que, las mismas evaluadas los Kc fueron 1.12, 0.6...

Starch is a carbohydrate that can be used as binder in pharmaceutical preparations. Paracetamol has poor flowability and compactibility with its crystalline form, it necessary to make granules by wet granulation method starch binder. This study banana peel waste (Musa paradisiaca) source of starch. Three granule formulations (F1, F2, F3) were prepared using the concentrations 5% (F1), 8% (F2), ...
