Post-harvest loss assessment of 'Totapuri' and 'Alphonso' mangoes.

A survey to assess postharvest losses of Totapuri (Bangalora) and Alphonso (Badami) mangoes in Karnataka revealed total postharvest losses of 17.9% (3.5% orchard/field, 4.9% transportation, 4.1% storage and 5.4% retail level) and 14.4% (1.9% orchard/field, 3.7% transportation, 3.5% storage and 5.3% retail level), respectively. The major causes of losses, in order of their frequency, were mechanical injuries, spoilage, either over-mature/shrivelling or immature/unmarketable sizes, pilferage and damage by birds/hail.
