The present investigation was aimed at assessing the effect of packaging material on self-life and quality of mango (Mangifera indica L. cv. Dashehari). The experiment was laid out in the completely randomized design with three replications. Each replication was comprised of eight treatments consisting of different packing material viz., newspaper, CFB (corrugated fibre box), tissue paper, banana leaf, gunny bags, sugarcane leaf and paddy straw to induce the shelf life of mango. The different treatment of packing material viz., newspaper, CFB box, tissue paper, banana leaf, gunny bags, sugarcane leaf and paddy straw significantly influenced the morphological and biochemical parameters of mango. The treatment T₂ (CFB box) was found the best treatment as compared to all the treatments and it gave the maximum morphological and biochemical parameters at different storage periods, whereas the minimum morphological and biochemical parameters were recorded in treatment T₀ (Control).
