Storage behaviour of some betelvine (Piper betle L.) cultivars.

摘要

An experiment was conducted during three seasons of the year, viz., summer (April-May), rainy (July-August) and winter (December-January), with 18 cultivars of betelvine to study the storability of leaves in normal condition of storage, i. e. betel leaves covered with banana leaves kept in a bamboo basket. The results showed that cultivar Chamundai Bhabna was proved to be kept for the longest days (19) during winter season, whereas cultivar Boinchi Godi rotted most quickly (4 days) during summer season.
