“…Ascorbic acid level (175.93 mg per 100 g fruit pulp) was considerably lower in untreated fruits. The decrease in ascorbic acid during storage is due to conversion of ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid by the action of ascorbic acid oxidase (Singh et al,15). The gradual decline in ascorbic acid in n-PG treated fruits might be due to increased biosynthesis, or decreased oxidation during storage.…”
The plants were maintained under uniform schedule of fertilizer, irrigation and phytosanitory treatments for insect pest control recommended under Punjab conditions. The selected plants were subjected to two sprays of either salicylic
