Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of storage on fruit and seed characteristics of watermelon. The TSS percentage and the rind thickness did not change during the storage. There was significant reduction in the weight of the fruits during the course of storage. The seed number and the 100-seed weight were not influenced by the post harvest Storage of the fruits.
