Extension of storage life of mango cvs. Bangalora and Neelum.

A laboratory experiment was conducted to test the efficiency of certain postharvest treatments using fungicide (carbendazim), growth regulators (GA3, maleic hydrazide, and 2,4,5-T) and subsequent storage in polyethylene bags with ethylene scrubbers, or the wrapped fruits in wooden boxes on the shelf life and quality of mango cultivars Bangalora and Neelum at room temperature. Among the subjected treatments, GA3 (200 ppm) treated fruits stored in ventilated polyethylene bags with ethylene absorbent significantly reduced the physiological loss in weight, rate of respiration, delayed colour development and ripening and had longer shelf life. Besides, the fruits also exhibited better quality on account of its favourable effect on slower increase in total soluble solids, sugars and retaining more acidity thereby rendering them acceptable up to a period of 18 days in Bangalora and 17 days in Neelum. The other treatment with 1000 ppm 2,4,5-T and stored in similar condition as above was the next best treatment.
