Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of post harvest hot water treatment for disease control and extension of shelf life of 'Kesar' mango fruits grown under arid zone. For this purpose, the mango fruits were harvested at proper stage of maturity and given hot water treatments at 52°C for 10 minutes either alone or in combination with fungicidal dips viz., Bavistin (0.1%) and Captan (0.2%). The mango fruits were then packed in corrugated fibre board box and then stored in two storage environments viz., at room temperature (28.12 to 36.18°C temperature and 46.18 to 71.25% RH) and in zero energy cool chamber (21.47 to 27.10°C temperature and 91 to 95% RH). It was observed that hot water treatment combined with Bavistin (0.1%) was found to be the best in controlling the incidence of anthracnose and stem-end rot.[...]
