Abstract: |
This experiment was conducted during /998199 to 2000/001 at ARS (Hort), Junzla to evaluate locally available cushion materials and shelf life of Delicious group of apples for minimum storage losses under normal room condition. For this purpose three cushion materials i.e. paper, moss and pidal (leaves of Pine wood) including wit/rout cushion in wooden box and on-floor storage (farmer's practice) were tested in Red, Royal and Go/de11 Delicious apples. This experi!Jtent was laid out i11 RCBD with four replications. Apple frttits were stored from September to March and percentage physiological loss i11 weight and number of fruit loss, total soluble solid and temperature and humidity were recorded. The lowest storage losses were obsen•ed in paper cushion and the highest in on-floor storage during storage period. The paper cushion was found statistically superiors over others. /11 Red Delicious apples the lowest physiological loss in weight 4.1, 9.5, 14.0. 21.1. 33.0 and 47.6 % was obsetved in paper cushion i11 September to March respectively. The percentage of 11umber of fruit loss ( 1.6. 4.6. 7.8, 1 3.1, 23.7 and 38.5) was also recorded minimum in paper cushion. The highest physiological loss in weight 10.0, 26.6, 40.3, 55.0, 72.3, and 88.0 % was obsetved in on-floor storage. The percentage of fruit losses was also high (8.4, 30.4, 41.6, 56.8, 68.0 and 88.0 %) during storage period in on-floor storage. The similar results were also observed for storage losses in Royal and Gol{ien Delicious apples in all treatments employed. Among the apple varieties tested for shelf life none of them showed co11stant and highly significant results during storage period in any treatment however, .Red and Golden Delicious apples fwd comparatively better storage life than Royal Delicious apples. Tire results of this study also indicated that though paper cushion is the best cushion material for minimum storage losses u11der room storage however, locally available moss and pidal are also recommended to use as a cushion materials for apple storage of Jumla. |
