Experiments on the CA storage of a number of mango cultivars in 1984

Sive, A.; Resnizky, D.

Storage of fruits of cultivars Tommy Atkins, Maya and Haden was extended to 6-8 weeks and of Keitt to 8-10 weeks under CA conditions. Even at the relatively high temperatures required (13-14 degrees C) ripening was delayed. Lower storage temperatures caused chilling injury. Three fortnightly sprays of 1% calcium nitrate commencing 6-8 weeks before harvest delayed colour change and ripening in storage.
