Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the oldest and choicest tropical fruits of the world and is rightly designated as “King of fruits”. It is the third widely produced fruit crop of the tropics after banana and citrus and occupying relatively the same position in the tropics as the apple in Europe and North America. Mango is believed to be indigenous to the Indian sub-continent. It is under cultivation in India for more than 4000 years and hence conspicuous bonds have been formed between the fruit and cultural history of some countries like India.The spray of Calcium Chloride extends the shelf life due to the increased firmness and retarded ethylene production rates in CaCl2 treated fruits and improves the physico-chemical properties of mango fruit. This book may be useful for Students, Lecturers, Researchers and mango growers worldwide.
