“…72.05% (Table 2). Our results are in accordance with Devi et al (2017). Among storage durations, one day storage recorded maximum moisture content (79.31%) as compared to two days (74.64%) and three days storage (71.71%).…”

“…This leads to major setback to farmers so they have to sell the flowers at very less prices. Short term storage methods in locally available materials can result higher profits by cutting postharvest losses (Devi et al 2017). Keeping in view, the yearround demand for marigold, influence of temperature and humidity and post-harvest losses during transportation, the present study was conducted to correlate the shelf life of marigold with temperature and humidity during different seasons after storage and packaging of flowers for different durations in different packaging materials.…”

In the present study, the keeping quality of differently packed and stored marigold flowers was evaluated under ambient conditions during summer and rainy seasons. The shelf life of marigold was 1 day in summer and 4 days in rainy season which was supported by high membrane stability index, relative water content, total soluble proteins, total soluble sugars, lesser loss in physiological weight, minimum spoilage and maximum freshness index of flowers in rainy season. The ice box, CFB box and polythene packages showed better results in comparison to gunny bag and onion mesh bag. One day storage was better in comparison to two and three days in all the seasons. Thus, marigold flowers can be packed in ice box, CFB box and polythene for 2 to 3 days without any adverse effect on keeping quality during rainy season. Bangladesh J.
