Abstract: The present experiment was conducted at Department of Fruit Science and Horticulture Technology, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar during the year 2018-19 to determine effect of post-harvest treatments of chemicals on shelf-life of jamun fruits cv. CISH J 42. Eight treatments were taken with different chemicals and growth regulator concentrations CaCl2 1%, CaCl2 1.5%, Ca (NO3)2 1%, Ca (NO3)2 1.5%, GA3 50 ppm, GA3 100 ppm followed by perforated polythene packaging, polythene packaging without any chemical and control. This experiment revealed that fruits treated with 1.5% CaCl2 and kept in perforated polyethylene bag, showed reduced in physiological loss in weight (59.364%), spoilage losses (58.333%), maintained the marketable quality (41.667%) and rendering them acceptable up to period of 6 days as compared to control (2 days) when stored under ambient condition.
