The effect of different wrapping materials on post harvest decay loss of mango fruits under ambient conditions (17–25°C (RH 70–80%) was studied. Results revealed that post harvest decay loss can be minimized significantly through proper wrapping of fruits during storage. Fruits wrapped with news paper up to 15 days of storage exhibited low decay loss percent. In general, the fruit loss due to fungal attack increased with increasing duration of storage.
