Abstract:

Storage of flowers is essential for economic marketing. A laboratory trial was conducted to study the shelf life of marigold under West Bengal condition. Flowers of Bidhan 1, Bidhan 2 and Bidhan 3 were stored with four packaging materials like gunny bags, nylon mesh bags, bamboo baskets and plastic baskets, during early winter, mid winter and late winter season. The study revealed that shelf life of loose marigold flowers stored during mid winter season (18-20 º C and 60 to 75% RH) in plastic baskets could be extended for 12 days in Bidhan 3, with acceptable marketable quality.


Keywords: Storage, Packaging, Shelf life.
