Pre-harvest calcium application significantly reduced decay loss and physiological weight loss in aonla fruits.
Calcium nitrate at 1.5% applied 20 days before harvest was the most effective, maintaining higher nutrient levels.
The study conducted in Haryana from 2020 to 2023 focused on calcium chloride and calcium nitrate effects on aonla.
Results imply that calcium treatments can enhance fruit quality, potentially benefiting post-harvest management.
