| Abstract:
For studying the effect of ripening, marketability and quality, the mature green Kesar mango fruits after harvest were dipped in waxol, gibberellic acid, cycocel, maleic hydrazide, kinetin, hot water, bavistin and bavistin in combination with regulators at ambient conditions (29 to 34°C, 67 per cent R H). It was found that 6 per cent waxol was highly effective in retarding the rate of ripening but marketability and quality of these fruit was lowered. However, GA 200 ppm gave a highly effective treatments for retarding rate. Bavistin (7.5 ppm) maintained market-ability of fruits for a longer period without adversely affecting the quality. Their value is enhanced by wrapping of individual fruit before packing. | |
