A field experiment was carried out at Fruit Research Station, Sangareddy, Telangana State during the year 2015- 2017 to study the effect of pre harvest spray of bio-regulators (S₁ - Ca (NO₃)₂ @ 1%, S₂ - Putrescine @ 0.1mM, S₃- CPPU (1-(2- Chloro-4-Pyridyl)-3-Phenyl Urea) @ 10 ppm, S₄ - Ca (NO₃)₂ @ 1%+ Putrescine @ 0.1mM+ CPPU @ 10 ppm, S₅ - Control) and bagging (B₁ - Two layers of brown paper, B₂ - No bagging) on export quality characters of mango cv. Banganpalli. The experiment results revealed that the pre-harvest spray of Ca (NO₃)₂ @ 1% + Putrescine @ 0.1mM + CPPU @ 10 ppm and bagging with two layers of brown paper (S₄B₁) resulted in maximum fruit TSS (18.47 oBrix) and shelf life (12.97 days) with better post-harvest quality attaining highest scores for all organoleptic characters evaluated viz., colour score (8.96), taste score (8.60), texture score (8.40), flavour score (8.7) and overall acceptance score (8.66).
