e0“Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a key fruit crop in Peru”
e1“This study evaluated the effects of soil-applied compost and foliar-applied biol on the quality of ‘Kent’ mango fruits at physiological and commercial maturity stages”
e2“At commercial maturity, these treatments also enhanced fruit firmness (0.42 MPa), reduced acidity (0.47%), increased pulp pH (4.69), and intensified orange pulp color”
