Effect of Polyamines and NAA Application on Quality and Shelf Life of Mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Kesar

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: A study was conduct to investigate the effect of polyamines and NAA on quality and shelf life attributes like, TSS (Brix0), Ascorbic acid (%), Acidity (%), Reducing sugars (%), Total sugars% and physiological weight loss (%), Days to ripening, shelf life (%), Fruit spoilage (%) in 15 years old trees of mango cv. Kesar, under Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, saurastra region of Gujarat during 2015-16 and 2016-17. Results indicated that Putrescine 150 ppm reduced TSS (15.60 Brix0), Ascorbic acid (17.85%), Reducing sugars (5.15%), Total sugars (14.55 %) and maximum acidity (0.37 %), as well as reduced physiological weight loss (13.06 %), Days to ripening (16.68), shelf life (20.73%), fruit spoilage (8.71%) in treated trees over non-treated trees at full bloom stage after post-harvest. Our results suggested that effect of polyamines on mango cv. Kesar to increased quality and shelf life parameters.
