Why Bihar• FORTY YEARS OF PAPAYA RESEARCH AT PUSA, BIHAR.

• Systematic research work on papaya was started during 1966-67 at Indian Agricultural Research Institute Regional Station, Pusa, Bihar, with an objective to breed the varieties of uniform, high yielding with better quality for wider adaptability.

• Standardized the production technology of papaya in respect to planting density, time, nutrition and papaya based cropping system under North Bihar conditions.

Cultivation in Bihar districts

• Banka • Siwan • Bhagalpur• samastipur • Muzaffarpur• Vaishali• Saran• Katihar• Saharsa

After harvesting• For export often washed ,dipped into

fungicide or hot water to prevent infection, and placed into crates with special single fruit compartment

Storage ,Transportation

• Fruits are highly perishable in nature. They can be stored for a period of 1-6 weeks at a temperature of 10-130 C and 85-90% relative humidity.

• Road transport by trucks/lorries is the most convenient mode of transport due to easy approach from orchards to the market

FOR PACKING OF PAPAYA :

• The packaging systems is evaluated in terms of physical protection, heat transfer characteristics for rapid cooling and maintaining optimum temperature and relative humidity during post-harvest and quality maintenance. foam nets and paper-based wrap materials, were also compared. Minimized mechanical injuries resulted in a decreased susceptibility to decay and bruising. Paper-based cushions showed similar protection to plastic foam nets materials but offered a better ripening response for papayas
