Abstract

Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is a tropical and subtropical climacteric fruit of Central America. It is necessary to maintain high quality of the fruit after harvest for the distant imported market through sustainable solutions. Therefore, this experiment was aimed to increase the quality and shelf life of “Hass†avocado fruits through spray avocado trees with two elicitors, calcium chloride (control, 0.5%, 1%, 2%) and potassium silicate (control, 1%, 2%, 4%) which application after 30 and 75 days of fruit set. Fruits after harvest were placed in carton boxes and sorted into identical groups under temperature and humidity of normal room. it could be recommended by spraying Hass avocado trees with (0.5%) calcium chloride and (2%) potassium silicate as well as the interaction between them to maintaining the quality of fruits for as long as possible through storage and extend shelf life of fruits.
