Author(s) : RANDHAWA J. S.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE EFFECT OF CYCOCEL (2,000 AND 4,000 PPM), GIBBERELLIC ACID (100 AND 200 PPM), CALCIUM CHLORIDE (4 AND 6%) AND WAX EMULSION (6 AND 9%) TREATMENTS AND DATE OF HARVEST ON PME ACTIVITY DURING COLD STORAGE OF < PATHARNAKH > PEAR FRUITS WAS INVESTIGATED. FRUIT FIRMNESS DECREASED WHEREAS PME ACTIVITY INCREASED WITH THE DELAY IN HARVEST AND DURING STORAGE. APPLICATION OF 200 PPM GIBBERELLIC ACID AND 4,000 PPM CYCOCEL INCREASED THE PME ACTIVITY. THE DATE OF HARVEST SHOWED SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON FRUIT FIRMNESS AND PME ACTIVITY.
