Abstract:
The present study was conducted to recognize the influence of different pre-harvest sprays on the physical and physiological parameters of the banana cv. Rajapuri fruits during the year 2019-20 and 2020- 2021. The chemicals viz., calcium chloride (1 and 2.0%), hexanal (2 and 3.0%), salicylic acid (0.40 and 0.60%) and potassium silicate (0.40 and 0.60%) were sprayed at two concentration levels before one month of the harvesting during both the years. Later they were harvested and brought to laboratory for studying their physical and physiological behaviors during ambient storage. Among different pre-harvest sprays, fruits sprayed with potassium silicate at 0.60 per cent has showed the better physical and physiological behaviors with enhanced shelf life compared to other treatments.
