Abstract:
Sunscald is one of the important disorder in mrig bahar of Nagpur mandarin grown in central India and cause the severe yield loss to mandarin growers by reducing the fruit quality characteristics like juice per cent, TSS and acidity. From the present study it was concluded that application of 6%, 8% and 10% of kaolin and calcium sulphate control the incidence of sunscald in mrig bahar and improved the quality characteristics of Nagpur mandarin fruits. Kaolin was the more effective particle film in controlling sunscald incidence compared to calcium sulphate.
