The three varieties of custard apple were subjected to various preharvest chemicals and plant growth regulators treatments, viz., CaCl2 @ 2%, KNO3 @ 2%, GA3 @ 50 mg/l, NAA @ 50 mg/l and no spray. Then mature, uniformed sizes fruit were harvested and observation were recorded under ambient storage condition. Balanagar recorded maximum fruit weight (180.32 g), volume (109.42 cc) and pulp weight per fruit (90.52 g) while minimum peel weight per fruit (53.87 g) and seed weight per fruit (10.43 g) recorded in Local variety at harvest. GA3 @ 50 mg/l were found to best since they have maximum fruit weight (159.60 g), volume (96.85 cc) and pulp weight per fruit (79.54 g) at harvest. In case of fruit diameter (7.39 cm, 7.09 cm) in both factors were recorded maximum at 3rd day of storage. CaCl2 @ 2% recorded minimum PLW (23.54% at 6th day) and spoilage percentage (32.22%) and maximum fruit firmness (0.25 kg/cm2 at 6th day), shelf-life of fruits (7.25 days) and marketable fruit percentage (67.78%) during storage. Thus, it can be inferred from the study that Balanagar variety and GA3 @ 50 mg/l rated as most acceptable and superior, over all the other treatments in term of physical parameters and in term of quality and shelf-life CaCl2 @ 2% treatment observed during ambient storage.Keywords
Calcium Chloride, Potassium Nitrate, NAA, GA3, Physical Parameters, Shelf-Life.

The present investigation on effect of preharvest application of different chemicals and plant growth regulators on biochemical parameters of mango (Mangifera indica L.) var. Amrapali was carried out during summer season of the year 2016 at Anand. The plants of mango were preharvest sprayed with CaCl2 1%, CaCl2 2%, Ca(NO3)2 1%, Ca(NO3)2 2%, KNO3 1%, KNO3 2%, GA3 25 mg/l, GA3 50 mg/l, ethrel 0.1 ml/l and ethrel 0.2 ml/l. There were eleven treatment embedded in Completely Randomized Design replicated thrice. Thirty three uniform size tree of mango were selected. Fresh and mature fruits were harvested from trees which was preharvest sprayed with different chemicals and plant growth regulators and stored under ambient storage condition. Among all the treatment CaCl2 2% recorded significantly highest total soluble solids, reducing sugar, total sugar, non-reducing sugar, ascorbic acid and minimum acidity consistently at harvest and every three days interval upto last ripening stage i.e. 4th day, 8th day, 12th day and 16th day under ambient storage condition.Keywords
