The present experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Junagadh during 2015 to determine the effect of post harvest treatments on shelf life and quality of jamun (Syzygium cuminii Skeels.) cv. Local. 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)2 @ 1.5% and T6-Control (water). The fruits treated with CaCl2 @ 1.5% significantly reduced physiological loss in weight, spoilage loss and late days to shrivelling initiation, maximum firmness and marketable fruits.
