Author(s): Swosti Debapriya Behera and Manoranjan Neog
Abstract: Physico-chemical changes that occur during ripening affect the post harvest quality and shelf life of banana fruits. Finger drop is a major post harvest physiological disorder that deteriorates the quality of banana particularly in cultivars having genome “A”. Enzyme activity was found responsible for this disorder. Various practices including application of chemicals and growth regulators have been adopted to check this disorder and to improve quality of banana during storage. Research works pertaining to the cause, symptoms and prescribed solutions have been reviewed in this paper.
