Abstract

Four post-harvest techniques was compared for their effectiveness in controlling storage decay of calamansi. Fifty of F (Fahrenheit) was the most ideal storage temperature which prolonged the marketability of the fruits by 3 weeks. Benlate, the most effective fungicide which 100% disease control prolonged the soluble life of fruits for 2 weekd. Vitamin K and GA extended the marketability for 2 weeks. Polythylene bags with 8 holes exhibited the least incidence of decay while fruits placed in open paper boxes showed no decay.
