The investigation was conducted to assess the efficacy of certain chemicals and packaging materials on ripening behavior, shelf life and quality of papaya fruits during storage. The post harvest application of different treatments, i.e., GA3 100 ppm minimized the PLW, spoilage loss and enhanced the marketable quality like TSS, reducing and total sugar, ascorbic acid and organoleptic taste .The minimum PLW and spoilage were observed on 4 days of storage and enhanced with advancement of storage period, Whereas the quality parameter like acidity and sugar was obtained minimum on 4 day of storage and gradually increased up to 10 day and started to decline on 13 day of storage.
