Abstract

Ethylene action on mango fruits was studied in relation to the ripening physiology of these fruits. Mango (Mangifera indica L.), Keitt variety, were harvested in the pre-climateric stage. These fruits, after receiving Ethrel treatment (500 e 1,000 ppni, except for control), were analized for pH, acidity, refratometric index and total sugars. The analysis and interpretation of the results showed no statistical differences among treatments, showing that ethrel didn't improve the fruits quality.
