e0“The results cleared that the foliar spray of chitosan at 500 ppm recorded the highest decrease in water loss rate (WLR), relative water loss (RWL), intensity of transpiration, leaves drop percentage (LDP) , proline and reducing sugars content”
e1“improve the tolerability of Codiaeum variegatum plants to transport and postharvest handling by using chitosan”
e2“Also this treatment gave the highest chlorophyll a and b content”
