Abstract
It can be concluded from the experiment that for short-term storage and distant transport of tomato ,pre – harvest spraying ( 15 days before harvest ) of calcium salts is very effective. Among the three cultuvars, the fruits of panjab chuhara stands longer in the ambient storage condition and may be reconnended for commercial cultuivation to avoid market glut which is usually observed during harvesting season due to more perishable nature of other cultivars .Since, the qualitative attributes of fruits viz. total sugar, acidity and vitamin C decreased at the later stages of storage, it would be reasonable to market the produce a t mid –term storage.
