Effect of pre-harvest sprays of calcium nitrate on the storage life of Shan-I-Punjab peach.

Investigations were conducted at Ludhiana, India, to study the effect of pre-harvest sprays of calcium nitrate on the storage life of Shan-I-Punjab peach. Calcium nitrate (1.0, 1.5, 2.0 or 2.5%) was applied 3 times at weekly intervals (15, 22 and 29 April) before harvest. The harvested fruits were kept in cold storage at 3.0-3.5 deg C, 85-90% RH, for 22 days. Calcium nitrate at 2.5% resulted in minimal spoilage and physiological weight loss, reduced organic acid, fruit firmness and juice losses, and increased total soluble solids and sugar contents.
