The mango fruits harvested with stalks (8–10 mm) can be stored successfully up to 27 days (21 days at 12°C with 85–90% relative humidity and 6 days at ambient condition) in acceptable good condition with minimum spoilage compared with the control fruits (17 days). Though Ca infiltration delayed the ripening, maintained the firmness and reduced the spoilage during storage but the injury caused by Ca infiltration is a limiting factor. However, actual cause of injury and the mode of its manifestation need further intensive investigation.
