Mango fruit Cv. Kesar were exposed to ethylene gas (100 ppm) for 12, 18 and 24 hrs in fruit ripening chamber and were then removed from the ripening chamber at the end of exposure period, packed in corrugated fibre board boxes and then kept at ambient condition to study the ripening behaviour. In another trial, the mango fruits were treated with ethephon at the concentration of 500,750 and 1000 ppm for five minutes, drained, packed in corrugated fibre board boxes and then kept at ambient condition. It was found that mango Cv. Kesar exposed to the ethylene gas in the ripening chamber and ethephon dip treatment triggered the ripening process. | Effect of ethylene on qualitative changes during ripening of mango Mangifera indica L. cv.
