Abstract

In order to maintain and enhance fruit quality and storability of litchi the present study was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre, GBPUA & T, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand during 2013-14 and 2014-15. Different pre-harvest sprays of nutrients and growth regulators were sprayed individually or in combination with each other, viz., calcium chloride @ 0.5%, potassium sulphate @ 0.5%, borax @ 1%, putrescine @ 40ppm, salicylic acid @ 100ppm and ascorbic acid @ 0.2% on litchi to ascertain their effect on fruit chemical characters. The analytical study of the data revealed that treatment with a combination of CaCl2+ K2SO4 + Borax @ 0.5 % + 0.5 % + 1.0 % had best effect on TSS (21.05 °B), titratable acidity (0.44 %), ascorbic acid (28.16 %), total sugars (15.39 %), reducing sugars (11.48 %), non-reducing sugars (3.90 %) and TSS: acid ratio (31.62).
