A laboratory experiment was conducted on “Study on the effect of post harvest treatments on shelf life of custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) variety Arka Sahan during storage’’ at department of fruit science, KNK college of horticulture, Mandsaur. Experiment was statistically designed in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. There were three components with 13 treatment combinations i.e. Calcium chloride at 2%, 4%, 6%, Benzyl adenine at 50ppm, 100ppm, 150ppm, Chitosan at 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and their combinations and control. The treated fruits were evaluated for colour, taste, flavour and appearance during storage. The study concluded that higher treatment combination (CaCl2 6% + BA 150ppm + Chitosan 1.5%) treated fruits overall performed best and enhanced the shelf life or to inhibited fruit ripening of custard apple fruits by 12 days at ambient room temperature with good quality as compared to control.
