An experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University during 2013 to investigate the effect of post-harvest treatments on shelf-life and quality of Mango cv. Sendhura. Immediately harvested sendhura Mango fruits were collected from Department Orchard. The fruits were stored at ambient conditions (25 ± 5°C; 65 ± 5% RH). Mango were sprayed with 0.5 and 1.5 % CaCl2 and 200 and 300 ppm GA3 and wrapping with News paper and perforated polyethylene bags .The objective of this experiment extending the shelf-life of fruits and delay the ripening process. Fruits sprayed with 200 + wrapping with Newspaper ppm GA3 at T2 GA3 @ 200 ppm + wrapping with News paper took more number of days for ripening , physiological loss, firmness, shelf life , spoilage, TSS, Sugar content, Titrable acidity, Ascorbic acid content. While it was least in control ./Fruits sprayed with GA3 @ 200 ppm + wrapping with News paper showed shelf life up to 16.31 days followed by 0.5 % CaCl2 at (15.62 days) as against 8.03 days of control .The physico-chemical parameters evaluation of mango fruits were compared to control.
