Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Studies on effect of bagging and foliar application of different chemicals on post-harvest quality of Mango Fruits (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Amrapali” was carried out during the year 2020-2021 at Main Experimental Station, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture & Forestry, A.N.D.U.A. & T., Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. The treatments comprised of spraying of various chemicals and bagging with eco-friendly materials to study the various Physico-chemical properties and effect of above treatments on quality and storage behaviour of mango fruits cultivar Amrapali.
The experiment was laid down in randomized block design (RBD) with (08) treatments and (03) replications. The experiment consists of 8 treatments including control, T1 (Calcium Chloride @ 2%), T2 (Salicylic acid @ 0.03%), T3 (Calcium Chloride @ 2% + Salicylic acid @ 0.03%), T4 (Calcium chloride @ 2% + Bagging), T5 (Salicylic acid @ 0.03% + Bagging), T6 (Calcium Chloride @ 2% + Salicylic acid @ 0.03% + Bagging), T7 (Bagging), T8 (Control) were used for this study. The results revealed that the foliar application of Calcium Chloride @ 2% + Salicylic acid @ 0.03% + Bagging was most effective in increasing Physico-chemical properties of mango fruits like fruit length, fruit width, fruit weight, pulp weight, stone weight, peel weight, Pulp stone ratio, fruit firmness, less insect damage fruit, Total Soluble Solids (TSS), Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), reducing sugars, non-reducing sugar, Total sugars, and less acidity in quality point of view, Shelf life, Organoleptic quality, Cost: Benefit ratio, minimized PLW and spotted fruits.
