Effect of integrated nutrient management and micronutrients on post harvest quality parameters and shelf life of mango (Mangifera indica L.) Cv. Banganapalli under high density planting

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted to know the effect of integrated nutrient management and micronutrients on post harvest quality parameters and shelf life of mango (Mangifera indica L.) Cv. Banganapalli under high density planting. The results indicated that maximum total soluble solids (17.76 0Brix), total sugars (13.43 %), Reducing sugars (5.23 %), Non reducing sugars (8.20 %), Ascorbic acid (32.36 mg/100g pulp) and Shelf life (12.90 days) with minimum acidity (0.304 %) are exhibited by the application of F2M2 - 50% RDF + 50% VC +250 g Azotobacter + (0.8%) ZnSO₄ + (0.5%) H₃BO₃ + (0.5%) FeSO₄ / tree.
