Abstract:

The study investigates the bio-efficacy and phytotoxicity of a phytosterol-based solution containing stigmasterol and campesterol (0.01% w/w SL, branded as Brand) on Thompson Seedless grapevines. The key parameters assessed includes shoot length, leaf area, bunch weight, berry size and physiological loss in weight (PLW) to determine post-harvest shelf life. Results indicated higher concentrations of Brand @ 2 ml/L significantly enhanced growth and yield. Treatment T4 recorded increase in shoot length (115.80 cm), leaf area (165.00 cm2), bunch weight (460.30 g), 50 berry weight (185.60 g) and y

Abstract:

Vegetables sustain huge post-harvest losses owing to their highly perishable nature. Due to complex management challenges, marginal farmers face issues during post-harvest management and cannot get desirable remuneration. The present study assessed the effect of storage conditions on the commonly consumed vegetables, okra (cv. A5) and spinach beet (cv. Pusa Bharati) for prolonging the shelf life and analyzing the cost-benefit ratio. The vegetables were stored at ambient temperature (T0), Zero Energy Cool Chamber (ZECC) (T1), and Cold Chamber (T2), and their physiochemical parameters, overall a

Due to the short shelf life of ber fruit, there is a need for proper preservation methods to enhance the shelf life. Methods to increase its shelf life by applying different surface coating treatments were developed to regulate the market for fresh fruit.
