Effect of Pre-Harvest Foliar Spray of Micronutrients on Chemical Properties of Mango Cv. Langra at Ambient Storage Conditions

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The investigation was carried out at the Horticultural Research Centre, Patharchatta of the G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (U.S. Nagar), Uttarakhand to study the effect of preharvest foliar spray of micronutrients on chemical parameters of mango cv. Langra at ambient storage conditions.Under ambient storage conditions, preharvest foliar spray of boron, zinc, iron and copper gave minimum total titrable acidity. A combined application of boron, zinc and iron showed maximum total sugar percentage in ambient stored fruits. Preharvest foliar application of all the four micronutrients gave the highest total soluble solids, β-carotene and vitamin A content at room temperature. At ambient storage conditions, combination of boron, zinc, iron and copper improved the TSS : acid and sugar : acid ratios.
