Post harvest management is very important for horticultural crops. The safety and quality of horticultural crops specially vegetables largely depends on its post harvest management. Due to improper management farmers have to bear significant post harvest losses. Post harvest losses of fruits and vegetables are estimated at 5-20% in developed countries and 20-50% in developing countries (Mashav, 2010). In Bangladesh, post-harvest losses of fruits and vegetables amount to 16.73-43.5% which accounts for an annual loss of Tk. 34420 million (Hasan et al., 2010; Kaysar et al., 2016). The country like Bangladesh suffer much of the postharvest losses due to a number of factors such as lack of adequate knowledge and information, the unavailability of appropriate practices under funded research and development (Hasan et al. 2010 and Azad et al., 2014). The quality and nutritional value of fresh vegetables are also affected by postharvest handling and storage condition (Sablani et al., 2006). In order to reduce post harvest losses and to arrest higher profit vegetable producers in the tropics and subtropics relies heavily on chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides and crop preservatives. Pesticide comes with a specific environmental concern due to their toxicity and persistence in the environment (Lamberth et al., 2013). So, it not only advantages for crop yield but it also have a significant negative impacts.
