Postharvest treatments to control eggplant deterioration during storage.

Aubergine fruits deteriorate rapidly during prolonged storage, mainly due to accelerated senescence of the calyx. Dipping the calyx of cv. Classic fruits in a solution containing 200 p.p.m. NAA + 900 p.p.m. prochloraz retarded calyx senescence and controlled decay (primarily due to Alternaria alternata and Botrytis cinerea). At the end of the growing season in Israel (Mar.-May), dipping the whole fruit in the above solution gave better results than dipping the calyx only. After 14 days of storage at 12 deg C and 3 days at 20 deg , the calyx appeared fresh and green and the fruit was firm. Decay incidence did not exceed 5%. The residual level of prochloraz in fruits that were wholly dipped was <0.34 mg/litre.
