Abstract:
Traditionally, methane (CH4), one of the most significant greenhouse gases, has been viewed as a physiologic inert gas. The finding that CH4 has a variety of biological effects on animals, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptosis effects, has, however, called into question this viewpoint. Since the physiological processes of plants are multifaceted, it will undoubtedly be challenging to predict and generalize how the increased concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse effect gases will affect plant growth, production, and fruit quality. These changes will also result in climate change, increased levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and changes in the hydrological cycle. A statistically significant change in either the condition of the climate or its variability that lasts for a considerable amount of time is referred to as a changing climate. Horticulture will be impacted by the considerable shift in climate, both globally and nationally, and this will have an effect on the production systems. The impact of greenhouse gases on fruit crops is discussed in this article. It would be reasonable to suppose that the effects of methane emission from fertilizer application will last for a very long period and have a significant impact on the lives of many people. The main influence on the bacteria that produce methane gas during anaerobic digestion processes has been thought to be nutrients. This study evaluated the nutritional makeup of several fruit wastes, including mango (M), watermelon (W), and pawpaw (P), as well as their effects on the formation of methane gas and the associated energy values.
