Abstrakt: Investigations were carried out to study the effect of post harvest treatments and packages on storage life (Mangifera indica L.) cvs. Sendhura and Neelum in the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University during 2016- 2018. The experiment was carried out by adopting Randomised Block Design with thirteen treatments with three replications. Fruits which were treated with aqueous solution of calcium chloride and calcium nitrate at (1%, 1.5%, 2%) respectively for five minutes and stored under room temperature for 12 days. The stored fruits were analysed after 3th, 6th, 9th and 12th days of storage. The results revealed that polythene packed fruits recorded significantly lower PLW as compared to other treatments. The fruit treated with calcium chloride 1.5 per cent and polythene packaging was found most effective in extending the shelf life of mango cvs. Sendhura and Neelum fruits with excellent fruit quality upto 12 days.
