POPULATIONS AND IDENTIFICATION OF FUNGI CAUSING POSTHARVEST MOLDS, ON PINEAPPLE PEDUNCLES IN TWO REGIONS IN COSTA RICA

Pineapple peduncle mold is an important postharvest problem in Costa Rica and it causes fruit rejection.The objective of this study was to identify and quantify the most important fungi in different postharvest phases.Monthly samplings were performed during one production year in 2 regions of Costa Rica.The main genera of fungi were identified and

In the context of global warming, which is mainly due to the increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, the prediction of climate change requires a good assessment of the involvement of vegetation in the global carbon cycle.In particular, determining when vegetative activity ceases in deciduous forests remains a great challenge.Remote
