Title: | Pre and Post Harvest Technology Protocols for Export of Banana variety Dwarf Cavendish by Sea |
Area: | Engineering Sciences, Agricultural Sciences |
Focus Area: | Banana Harvesting |
Social Benefits: | By using this technology, bananas can be kept in fresh, green and unripe condition up to six weeks. These fruits ripened normally at ambient conditions after treatment with ethylene gas/ ethrel dip treatments and possess very good organoleptic qualities. |
