Abstract
Four post-harvest techniques were compared for their effectiveness in controlling storage decay of calamansi. fisty of oF was the most ideal storage temperature which prolonged the marketability of the fruits by 3 weeks. Benlate, the most effective fungicide with 100% disease control prolonged the salable life of fruits for 2 weeks. Vitamin K and GA extended the marketable for 2 weeks. Polyethylene bags 8 holes exhibited the least incidence of decay while fruits placed in open paper boxes showed no decay.
Fruits that were mechanically injured demonstrated the greatest incidence of decay. The causal organism isolated from the diseased fruits was a Penicillium.
