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.

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 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.
