Abstract:
In order to explore the impact of bagging and fungicide spraying on physical features of the Dashehri variety of mango under ambient conditions, a pre-harvest study was carried out in an experimental orchard and post-harvest laboratory of the department of Horticulture during 2014–15. Nine treatments were used in a Randomized Block Design. According to the findings, bagging fruits in brown paper with a foliar treatment of 0.05% carbendazim caused the greatest delay in ripening (3.04 days), which was followed by bagging fruits in brown paper without a foliar application of 0.05% carbendazim (2.76 days). The fruits treated with bagging of fruits by brown paper + foliar application of 0.05% carbendazim showed the highest levels of organoleptic quality, no skin shriveling, and minimal decay loss.
