Default Oxytocin and other adulterants?

After having bought some rather strange-acting bananas, I've been reading all that I can find on adulteration of bananas........

Found that some growers are injecting the plants with Oxytocin to increase yield and yield weight.

Are there any other adulterants being commonly used for market-bound bananas?????
