ripening without loss in fruit quality or flavour. A prestorage
dip in E-9267 emulsifiable mineral oil at 0.4% was found
effective in reducing fruit decayand also prolonged storage
life. Dipping of fruits in 1.5% or 2.5% talprolong solution
delayed yellow colour development by 4-8 days.

POST HARVEST MANAGEMENT :
After harvest, tubers are spread in partial shade for 56 days, for healing and
curing. They should be stored in semidark condition in a wellventilated room.
this types of storage invites infestation of pest and diseases. In some part of the
country, tubers are stored in a layer of dry sand/soil after curing under ambient
condition. For storing, gradedtubers free from sweet potato weevil and bruises
should be selected. Farmers store the graded tubers by keeping in a pit shade
and covering the pit with paddy straw. Finally, the heap is plastered with mud or
cow dung slurry.

HARVESTING AND POSTHARVEST MANAGEMENT :
The crop is ready 1011 months after planting. Shortduration varieties can be
harvested 67 months after planting. Delay in harvesting may result in deterioration in
cooking quality of the tubers. Highyielding varieties produce 3540 tonnes/ha in 1011
months, whereas shortduration ones (67 months) yield 2830 tonnes/ha.
About 70% of the total cassava production is used as food either directly or in
processed form. ‘Parboiled chips’ is a method of processing cassava tuber for storage.
These chips are harder than the lain sundried chips due to the partial gelatinization.
They can be stored for a longer period than sun dired chips. ‘Sago’ is an important
food product derived from cassava starch.

The most important trade types of arecanuts are dried ripe nuts (chali or kotapak),
kalipak and scented supari. To prepare chali or kotpak, ripe nuts are dried under the
sun for 3540 days. These are then dehusked and marketed as whole nuts. A me
chanical throughflow drier as well as aa dehusking device have been developed. Te
wellknown grades of chali in decreasing order of sizes are moti, srivardhan, jamnagar
and jinni.
Kalipak is processed in Kerala and Karnataka. Iylon, mainly consumed in Tamil
Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Nuli is a vsriety made from very tender nuts. Scented
supari, popular in north and central India, is of chali and kalipak types.
Scented supari, popular in north and central india, is of two types. The first is
made from chali and the other from kalipak. Chali and ripe areacanut which leave a
large fibrous residue in the mouth are used alongwith betel leaf and slaked lime.

POST HARVEST MANAGEMENT
Cashewnuts are harvested during FebruaryMay. Only fully mature nuts should be
harvested. Usually, the nuts are picked after they fall of from the trees. Best quality nuts
are obtained where freshly fallen fruits are collected. The apples are removed and the
nuts are sundried for 23 days to reduce moisture from 25% to below 9%. With proper
drying, the kernels retain their quality, particularly the flavor.
However, if cashew apples are used for processing, it is better to harvest them
from the without damaging the apples. The mature nuts sink in water while the imma
ture/unfilled once float. This test could be used to find out whether the nuts are mature
or not. The nuts should be collected at weekly interval in the season. Ripe apples for
fresh use should be picked almost daily. The area under trees should be weedfree
and swept clean to facilitate nut collection.
