Salicylic acid at 200 ppm showed better results in delaying the change in the post- harvest quality and prolonging the shelf life of mango. Further research on the effects of salicylic acid under different temperature and humidity conditions, or it’s potential in commercial applications, could be considered. Authors’ contributions SS conceptualized and methodologized the study, formally analyzed data, investigated, curated data, wrote the original draft, and visualized. AC formally analyzed data, investigated, resourced, wrote (reviewed and edited), and visualized. PA investigated, resourced, wrote (reviewed and edited), and visualized.
