Plums are climacteric fruit in nature and rapidly lose their quality during storage. To improve the storage potential maintain of plum cv. Satluj Purple, trees were sprayed with 50 µM 100 Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP) at 7 14 days before harvest (DBH), while control plants water. Fruit harvested colour break stage packed CFB boxes (5% perforation) paper lining stored (0–1 oC 90–95% RH) for 35 days. Preharvest application SNP DBH preserved by reducing weight loss (WL), spoilage, total...

Pre-harvest foliar applications of putrescine (PUT) were given to extend the storage life and maintain quality pear fruit cv. Punjab Beauty during cold storage. sprays 1mM, 2mM & 3mM PUT applied 7 days before harvest (DBH) 14DBH. Harvested stored at 0–1°C 90–95% RH for 75 days. Fruit analysed on 0, 15th, 30th, 45th, 60th, 67th 75th day various physico-chemical enzymatic changes. The minimum weight loss (5.47%) highest average sensory (SQ) (7.25), starch content (0.97 mg/g FW) titratable...
