Banana being perishable in nature, can not be stored well for a longer period of time at ambient temperature. For good market price it is required that fruit must be transported to the distant market without spoilage. The present study is undertaken to investigate the “Effect of post harvest application of growth regulators, wax emulsion and packaging on physical characters and shelf life of Banana cv. “Robusta”. This experiment was conducted at the laboratory of Department of Horticulture, B.A.College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2006 under Completely Randomized Design (Factorial) and repeated thrice with seven treatments and two storage conditions i.e. without packaging and with packaging. Each treatment consisted of one hand i. e. 12 fruits were dipped in the GA3 100 ppm and 150 ppm, Kinetin 10 ppm and 15 ppm for five (5) minutes and air dried for 30 minutes, while wax was weighed and it was dissolved in a hot water to make 10 liter solutionenHorticultureStudyThesis
