Effects of Hydrogen Peroxide and Methyl Eugenol on Fruit Growth, Yield and Fruit Fly Infestation of Syzygium Samarangense
A study was conducted to investigate the effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and methyl eugenol (ME) on fruit growth, yield and fruit fly infestation of wax apple (Syzygium samarangense var Jambu madu). The selected experimental tree branches were either left untreat-ed or sprayed with 20 mM H2O2, 2...
