Study of Fruit Quality and Shelf life of Mango

By Pradeep Kumar Vishwakarma

This book is related to the effect of preharvest application of different chemicals and plant growth regulators on fruit quality and shelf life of mango (Mangifera indica L.) var. Amrapali. The preharvest application of CaCl2 2 % recorded significantly minimum physiological loss in weight consistently during 2nd day and every day up to 16th day whereas, same treatment recorded significantly highest shelf life of fruit. However, preharvest treated fruits with CaCl2 2 % also recorded significantly maximum marketable fruits (%) and minimum spoilage (%) at 13th day, 14th day, 15th day and 16th day under ambient storage condition. In quality parameters, the preharvest application of CaCl2 2 % recorded significantly highest total soluble solids, reducing sugar, total sugar, non-reducing sugar, ascorbic acid and minimum acidity consistently at harvest and every three days interval up to last ripening stage i.e. 4th day, 8th day, 12th day and 16th day under ambient storage condition.
