Abstract : Post-harvest treatment with Gibbrellic acid at the rate of 200 or 300 mgl-1 significantly delayed ripening of mango fruits cultivar Langra when stored at 36.15°C maximum and 27.08 °C minimum temperature. GA3 treatment retarded the increase in TSS, total sugars, loss in ascorbic acid content and acidity and reduced spoilage percentage in mango fruits.
