Influence of Pre and Post Harvest Treatments on Shelf Life and Fruit Quality of Mango cv Amrapali

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the response of various pre-harvest (GA3 and thiophenate methyl) application followed by postharvest treatments 9salicylic acid, 1-MCP and hot water) with the objective to find out suitable treatments which could preserve physical, bio-chemical and organoleptic properties of Amrapali mango. The physical parameters of fruits viz. minimum PLW (Physiological Loss in Weight) i.e. 14.65% and spoilage percentage (28.89% upto 17th day) was recorded with T2 (GA3 + thiophenate methyl + hot water + 1- MCP) closely followed by T1 (GA3 + thiophenate methyl + hot water + salicylic acid). The chemical composition of the fruits viz., minimum reduction in TSS (5.490 Brix), maximum retentionof acidity (0.07828), were also recorded with the application of same during 17 days of storage. This record was migrated from the OpenDepot repository service in June, 2017 before shutting down.
