Resumen
Descripción
This work demonstrated the ability of a fabrication process in the preparation of gelatin-chitosan-PVA hydrogels
for potential agricultural applications. The hydrogels showed a dense, tridimensional, interconnected and reticulated structure
that was more evident in the hydrogel loaded with inulin. The hydrogels showed a water absorption capacity of ≤12 times
its mass. FTIR and light microscopy demonstrated that the hydrogels were biodegradable. The percentage of degradation
of hydrogels in inoculated soil was higher than in sterile soil using the soil burial test. Hydrogel loaded with inulin was found
to be capable of inducing resistance in chili plants against Phytophthora capsici.
