Thus, this study unravels the anisotropic wettability of banana leaves due to the presence of micro-ridges which can be biomimicked for providing anisotropic liquid gliding. Also, this can aid in designing the spraying conditions of urine as a natural pesticide/fertilizer in the banana orchards....

This study investigated the feasibility of preparing biodegradable composites, such as food packing materials, from plant leaves as a substitute plastic. Lotus leaves, reed leaves, and basho leaves were treated with hot water and combined with gelatin to form composite samples. The effects on the ...
Pomegranate breeding to improve the marketability requires the production of large and high quality fruits. Gamma radiation on pomegranate can be used to generate genetic diversity that allows the breeder to screen the mutants for superior quality and qu
Complex permittivity of Corn, Jowar, Ashoka and Banana plant leaves was measured using a Vector Network Analyzer (Anritsu Shockline Model-MS46322A) over 500 MHz to 15 GHz frequency range, at different moisture contents. The dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss (ε″) of the leaves ...
Recycled fibers for fluting production: the role of lignocellulosic micro/nanofibers of banana leaves J.

This research presents the behavior of dombeya buettneri fiber/graphite hybrid composites which was studied to harness a favorable balance between the inherent advantages and disadvantages of natural and synthetic reinforcements. The fibers after extraction were chemically treated for surface modification. ...
Emissivity and Brightness Temperature are theoretically estimated from measured dielectric properties at different angles of incidence for dry and moist banana leaves using Fresnel equations. These parameters are significance to microwave remote sensing of vegetation especially for banana canopy.Ashish B. Ito...
