Abstract:
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an important fruit crop of tropical and subtropical world. An experiment was conducted during the year 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 at College of Horticulture, Anantharajupeta, to study the influence of different plant growth regulators and chemicals on biochemical parameters in mango cv. Banganpalli. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The PGR’s and chemicals are sprayed in November first fortnight and at marble stage of fruits. The results showed that maximum Total soluble solids (20.25⁰ Brix), lowest titrable acidity (0.27%), maximum ascorbic acid content (26.07 mg100g^-1), total sugars (13.04%), reducing sugars (4.07%), non-reducing sugars (8.98%), maximum shelf life (12.50 days) and minimum physiological weight loss (4.83, 9.83, 12.00, 14.67, 18.83 and 21.17%) was noticed at different storage intervals i.e., 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 and 14 days after harvesting with treatment NAA @ 20 ppm (T₁).
