Post-harvest physiology induction of fruit ripening in banana harvested at different maturity stage

Banana is considered to be one of the most important cultivated tropical fruit in Malaysia which ranks next to durian in area and production. Banana also is very important commodity for developing country not only as staple commodity but also as a fundamental export commodity. In Malaysia, farmer cu...
