• 8-10% exported. • Around 35% is loosed. • Poor production, harvesting, handling and storage practices. • Produced in more than 100 countries. • India 40% , China 2nd with 11%, Thailand 3rd, Mexico 4th and Pakistan is at 5th number in production.

Friday, December 12, 2014 17 Maturity Indices

• When some ripe fruits fall from the tree (wrong perception, should be changed). • 120-140 days usually after fruit setting. • As per the environment of an area as sindhri mango harvest 20th to 25th may (early season areas of Sindh like Digri, Mirwah and Mirpurkhas), 28th May to 1st June (mid season areas like Sultanabad, Tando Allahyar, Hyderabad and Hala), 5th June onward (late season areas like Sarkand, Nawabshah and Khairpur). • Chaunsa is harvested after the Sindhri.

Friday, December 12, 2014 18 Maturity Stages Immature Stage 1. Fruit shoulders are in line with stem end and the color is dark green. – Pulp color is almost white and TSS is less than 4. Mature Stage 2. Shoulders outgrow the stem-end and color is dark to light green. – Pulp color yellow and TSS is 5-5.5 . Perfect Maturity For Harvest Stage 3. Shoulders outgrow stem-end and color becomes light green to pale green. – Pulp color yellow to light orange and TSS is 6-6.5 . Almost Tree Ripen Stage 4. Internal pulp soft and orange in color. – TSS is 12-14.

Friday, December 12, 2014 19 When, with what and how to Harvest • Stop irrigation before 7-12 days. • Collect ringed sharp blade netted poles, stands, plastic bins. • Harvest at cooler parts of day. • Stop harvesting If rain or high humidity up to 85%. • Harvest with sharp blade netted poles with 3-5 cm stem intact. • Harvest with hands near the ground ones. • Doping may cause bruising, skin damage or whole fruit may rupture apart. • Fallen fruits should be treated separately. • Harvested fruits should be kept in shade and tirred in crates to avoid sap interaction. • Wait for 2 hours to transport. • Wash the crates daily.

Friday, December 12, 2014 20 Pack House

• Transport harvested fruits as soon as possible. • Crates should be used. • Rood should be smooth. • Vehicle should be driven slowly and smoothly. • Top layer should be covered. • Crates will help in loading, unloading.

Friday, December 12, 2014 21 Desapping

Sap Burn Injury: . Poor appearance of fruit. . Low price. . Rotting starts from here. . Microbial infestation area. Process: . Fruits harvested with 3-5 cm attached pedicles. . Pedicles are cut at first node and hold fruit upside down. . Desap for 1-2 min. in slaked lime solution (0.5%). . Rinse for 1-2 min. in tap water to remove residues. . Till today desapping is done manually. Friday, December 12, 2014 22 Cleaning • Cleaning / washing of mango fruit is carried out to make fruit practically free from dust, dirt, latex or any other foreign material. For export fruits are usually dipped in hot water (50- 54oC)containing fungicide (benomyl) for the control of fungal diseases.

• The treatment is not appropriate for small-scale operations. Vapor Heat Treatment (VHT) of mangoes at 46oC for10 min helps in reduction of incidence of anthracnose & stem end rot.

Friday, December 12, 2014 23 Sorting and Grading

• Sorting & Grading of mango fruit under general condition is done manually wherein the workers sit close to piled mango heap and sort damaged, diseased and rotten fruits by hand.

Friday, December 12, 2014 24 These operation can also be done mechanically, fruits are conveyed through a conveyor belt and workers standing on both sides of the conveyor pick up the undesirable produce .

Friday, December 12, 2014 25 • There are some sophisticated technologies available for sorting and grading. • It is possible to mechanically sort and grade fruit on the basis of their color, size, degree of sweetness and firmness etc. • These are non destructive methods in which sensors are used to do so without any biasness.

Friday, December 12, 2014 26 • Weight graders are also available wherein containers containing a particular range of weight invert into a specific section.

Friday, December 12, 2014 27 • Standardized grading has become imperative for better economic returns in global market. • Bigger size fruits take 2-4 days more time in ripening than smaller ones. Hence, packaging of smaller fruits with larger ones should be avoided to achieve uniform ripening. • Immature, overripe, damaged and diseased fruits should be discarded.

Friday, December 12, 2014 33 Packing • Only sound and uniform grade fruits are packed. • In packing fruit is first wrapped then placed in container lined with tissue, newspaper or paper cuttings. • Packaging material should be free from nails, pins, smell, etc. It should have proper ventilation. It should meet handling and shipping requirements of international standard. It should be labeled with packing date, variety, grade, class or brand, number of pieces and weight. • For packaging CFB should be used. • Cartons used are usually of 4 kg.

Friday, December 12, 2014 34 Ripening • Calcium carbide not used for ripening as it is hazardous to health and fruit do not ripe uniformly resulting in inferior quality. • Ripe fruits with ethylene gas (100 ppm or 0.1%) in airtight room by exposing them for 24 –48 hrs under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. • Fruit can also be ripened by dipping the fruits in 500 and 250 ppm ethrel solution. This result in uniform ripening within 4-8 days depending upon maturity.

Friday, December 12, 2014 35 Cold storage • Fruits could be stored for 6 – 18 days under ambient conditions, according to variety. • For increasing the shelf life, fruits are stored at low temperature and high humidity. • Store the fruits at critical low temperature with 85-90 % R.H. Recommended temperature of some important varieties is as follow that extend shelf life up to 3 weeks. Dashehari 12ºC Langra 15ºC Chaunsa 10ºC • Do not store other fruits with mango under low temperature

Friday, Decemberconditions 12, 2014 as it effects its quality. 36 Quarantine Risks Fruit Flies – Clean cultivation plus pheromone traps & baits well advance in time end of April to early May. False Oleander Scales – Proper sanitation and proper chemical spray (Buprofezin) program in August, September. Thrips – Causing skin abrasions (spoinsad (tracer) need to be applied)

Friday, December 12, 2014 37 Post Harvest Disorders • Sap Burn: Dark-brown to black discoloration of mango skin due to chemical & physiological injury from sap from cut stem. • Skin Abrasion: Abrasions due to fruit rubbing against rough surfaces or each other result in skin discoloration and accelerates water loss. • Chilling Injury: Symptoms include uneven ripening, poor color and flavor, surface pitting, grayish scald-like skin discoloration, increased susceptibility to decay, and, in severe cases, flesh browning. • Heat injury: Exposure to temperatures above 30°C (86°F) for longer than 10 days results in uneven ripening, mottled skin and strong flavor. • Internal flesh breakdown: Flesh breakdown and development of internal cavities between seed and peduncle. This disorder is more Friday, Decemberprevalent 12, 2014 in tree-ripened mangoes. 38 • Jelly Seed: Due to premature ripening. Disintegration of flesh around seed into a jelly-like mass. • Soft nose: Softening of tissue at apex. Flesh appears over-ripe and may discolor and become spongy. • Anthracnose: Caused by Colletotrichum sp., Sunken black spots appear on the surface of the fruit during ripening and if persists darkens the skin. • Diplodia stem end rot: Caused by Lasiodiplodia sp., affects mechanically-injured areas. Forms a circular, black patch which under humid atmosphere extends rapidly and turns the whole fruit completely black within two or three days. The pulp becomes brown and softer.
