Description The present study entitled “Studies on integrated nutrient and post harvest
management of fig (Ficus carica L.)” was conducted for two years during 2005-06 and 2006-
07 at fig orchard of Mr. K.Anjaneya, Yeragera and Krishi Vigayan Kendra, Raichur to know
the influence of different organic and inorganic manures at different combinations, effect of
gibberllic acid on fig production, pre and post harvest application of different chemicals for
extending shelf life and effect of different packages on post harvest life of fig.
Among different treatment combinations , application of FYM @ 8.25 t/ha + PM @
2.5 t/ha + 75 per cent RDF was found superior with respect to number fruit per plant
(419.41), fruit diameter (5.51 cm), fruit length (5.32 cm), yield per plant (18.39 kg) and yield
per hectare (12.25 t/ha) and realized the maximum net returns (Rs.1,98,207/ha) and B:C ratio
(5.58.1)
The application of gibberllic acid @ 60 ppm with three sprays at an interval of 15
days starting from bud initiation increased shoot length, number of leaves and fruit length but
reduced the fruit diameter and weight. The maturity period was enhanced with increase in its
concentration and number of sprays.
Among different pre and post harvest treatments of chemicals, pre-harvest spray of
CaCl2(2%) 20 days before harvesting and post harvest treatment with crabendazim (0.1%)
and kinetin (50 ppm) had resulted in retaining higher TSS, reducing sugars and total sugars,
while acidity content of fruit followed declined trend. Further, use of these chemicals has
shown slow increase in physiological loss in weight and which further resulted increasing the
shelf life up to 4 days as compared to 2 days in control.
The experimental results of different packing of fig fruits in CFB boxes with good
physiological loss in weight and retained appreciable levels of sugars, acids, ascorbic acid
cushioning material kept under room temperature recorded slow and minimum and TSS up to
fourth day of storage.
