Abstract
On the basis of present investigation entitled “Response of Polyethylene
Packaging and Storage Temperature on Postharvest Physiology and Quality of
Tomato” was carried out in the Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of
Agriculture, Udaipur during 22nd Feb.–13th March, 2017.
1. It is concluded that treatment combination P4T2 (60 micron LDPE bag + 12ºC
storage temperature) was found best for maintaining physiological as well as
qualitative attributes and increased the shelf life of tomato up to 20 days after
harvest. Though, the treatment combination P4T2 (60 micron LDPE bag +
12ºC storage temperature) was found best but chilling injury was seen after 10
day of storage hence, further research should be conducted for the validation
of the result of present study.
