An experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Junagadh during the year 2015 to determine the effect of post harvest treatments on shelf life and quality of jamun (Syzygium cuminii Skeels.) cv. Local. A sum total of six post harvest treatments were given as T₁-GA₃ 50 mg/l, T₂-GA₃ 100 mg/l, T₃-CaCl₂ 1%, T₄-CaCl₂ 1.5%, T₅-Ca(NO₃)²1.5% and T₆ Control (water). The fruits treated with CaCl₂ 1.5% showed significantly reduced physiological loss in weight, spoilage loss and the same treatment reported the significant result and taken maximum days to shrivelling initiation and maximum firmness, marketable fruits.
