Using drone imagery to upscale estimates of water capacity in tank bromeliads on steep neotropical inselbergs

Austral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 196-202, April 2022., 2022
Using simple drone‐based imagery, we were able to calculate and upscale the water tank capacity of Alcantarea distractila, a bromeliad genus which is widespread on inselbergs in Southeastern Brazil. Our results provide a first large‐scale quantification of the estimated availability of water tank reservoir of inselberg, which highlights the potential ...

Identification of Fungal Pathogens of Mango and Soursop Fruits Using Morphological and Molecular Tools and Their Control Using Papaya and Soursop Leaf and Seed Extracts

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Fruit and vegetable products are susceptible to the attack of fungi during postharvest handling. Chemical fungicides are the most commonly used technique to control fungal diseases. However, an alternative product is the use of plant extracts, which have been reported in in vitro and in vivo conditions.
