Summary

GA3 treatments delayed the start of fruit colouring by about 10-12 days compared with calcium-chloride treatments or the control. Fruit drop percentage was decreased by different treatments especially calcium-chloride treatments. Total yield, as number of fruits/tree, weight, diameter, volume and juice percentage of fruits, TSS, titratable acidity, TSS/acid ratio and L-ascorbic acid in juice were affected by the different treatments. Fruits treated with GA3 or calcium chloride and stored at 5 plus or minus 1 °C and 90% RH remained in good condition for about 60-75 days compared with only 30-45 days for control fruits.
