“…Banana crop has nutritional, medicinal and industrial value and is known for its antiquity and it is interwoven with Indian heritage and culture. Owing to its greater socio-economic significance and multifaceted uses, it is referred as "Kalpatharu" (plant of virtues).It is a good source of income to the farmers in their respective growing regions (Bridge, 2000;Akinyemi et al, 2010). Now-a-days, the practice of application of plant growth regulators, chemicals and bunch management treatments are taken for An experiment entitled "Effect of post shooting bunch spray of chemicals on bunch characters and yield of banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) cv.…”

“…Banana (Musa sapientum L.) is one of the important tropical fruits with a global annual production of about 145.4 million metric tones of which Asia contributes 69 million tonnes (FAO, 2011). It is a good source of income to the farmers in their respective growing regions (Bridge, 2000;Akinyemi et al, 2010). Bangladesh produces 4.22 million tonnes of fruits annually from 0.15 million hectares of which banana ranks first in respect of area (0.06 million hectare) and second in production (0.82 million tones) (BBS, 2010).…”

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the changes in the chemical properties of banana fruits and their shelf life as influenced by different postharvest treatments. There were two varieties viz. Amritasagar (VI) and Sabri (V2) and seven storage treatments viz.: control (open space, 30±2ºC) (T0); perforated polyethylene, 30±2ºC (T1); non-perforated polyethylene, 30±2ºC (T2); benzyl adenine (BA 30 ppm, 30±2ºC) (T3); gibberellic acid (GA3 150 ppm, 30±2ºC) (T4); benzyl adenine (BA 30 ppm, 15°C ) (T5) and gibberellic acid (GA3 150 ppm, 15°C) (T6). A factorial experiment was laid out in the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Data were recorded on titratable acid content, total sugar content, reducing sugar content, non-reducing sugar content, total soluble solids and pulp pH. Among the chemical parameters, total soluble solids (TSS) and pH of pulp increased while titratable acidity decreased during storage in all the treated and untreated banana fruits. Among the treatments gibberellic acid (GA3 150 ppm, 15°C) treatment exhibited the best storage performance. The treatment combinations of Sabri with gibberellic acid (GA3 150 ppm, 15°C) showed the longest shelf life (16.25 days), whereas the lowest shelf life was in Amritasagar with control (open space, 30±2ºC) treatment combination (6.78 days).The Agriculturists 2014; 12(2) 06-17

“…Musa fruits play major roles in the nutrition and well being of people of the tropical and sub -tropical regions of the world. They are good source of income to the farmers in their respective growing regions (Bridge, 2000;Akinyemi et al, 2010). In Africa, plantains and bananas provide more than twenty-five percent of the daily energy requirements by the people (Frison and Sharrock, 1998).…”

The effect of two storage methods (jute bag and open shelve) on ripening and microbial load of fruits of three cultivars of Musa (PITA 26, cooking banana and 'agbagba' plantain) at different stages of ripening were investigated. There was a significant difference in the fruit ripening rate of the three Musa cultivars kept under the two storage methods. The fruits stored in jute bags ripened within a shorter period of time (8 days for PITA 26 and 'agbagba' plantain; 11 days for cooking banana) compared with those put on open shelf in the laboratory (10 days for PITA 26 and 'agbagba' plantain; 14 days for cooking banana). There was a continuous increase in microbial (bacterial and fungal) count of fruits as ripening process progressed. The identified isolates were Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus species, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium, Saccharomyces and Penicillium species.
