Adsorption capacities of 524.1 (mg g-1) were obtained for crystal violet and 168.6 (mg g-1) for methylene blue. These capacities significantly exceed those of other comparable adsorbents. The only disadvantage? The inability to regenerate the adsorbent.

The results showed that putrescine-treated buds decreased the overall malondialdehyde content (and thus the level of oxidative stress), while the rate of fruit set increased during most of the growing seasons evaluated.
