CANDIDATE DECLARATION I hereby declare that the thesis or any part thereof has not been previously submitted by me or for the degree of any other University or Institute. Place: Killa- Roha. (M.V. Sawant.) Date: / / 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT While writing this page of the manuscript of my thesis, numerous thoughts came to my mind which is full of gratitude to those who encouraged and helped me at various stages of this research work. There are several occasions when you say ‘Thanks’ to someone in your life time, but when a person divert your life towards a new achievement without whom you can’t think about that, that condition creates a real respect and faith in your heart and your words become an “Acknowledgement” in respect to that great personality. At this time, I am on that golden moment of my life I would like to express my sincere gratitude to prof. Dr. K. H. Pujari. Hon. Chairman of my Advisory Committee and Associate Dean, Department of fruit, vegetable and flower crops, P. G. Institute of Post Harvest Management, Killa-Roha, Dist-Raigad. I express my deep and sincere gratitude to him for whose most valuable and inspirative guidance, keen interest, concrete suggestions, constant encouragement, enormous help and constructive criticism throughout my academic career and above all, playing an important role in moulding my personality. I express my gratefulness to Dr. P.P. Relekar, Associated professor, P. G. Institute of Post Harvest Management, Killa-Roha, Dist-Raigad. Dr. V. S. Pande, Incharge, Plant Pathology Centre, the members of my advisory committee for their excellent guidance and helpful discussion throughout the post graduation studies. I am also grateful to Dr. J. S. Dhekale, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Agriculture Economics, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, for encouragement, valuable suggestions and helpful discussion throughout the post graduation studies. I am highly grateful to Mr. Shedge sir, Mr. Debaji sir, Mr. Khapre sir, Mr. Sawant & Miss. Kashid from Department of Fruits, Vegetables and Flowers crops, Post graduate institute of post harvest management, Kill- Roha for their kind co-operation during the course of my research work. Also special thanks to all the staff members of P. G. I. P. H. M. Merely words are not sufficient to express my sentiments towards my parents who have constantly struggled and borne innumerable hardships with doubtless courage in their endeavor to provide best of everything in my student life. Words are tool of expression but they fail miserably when it comes to acknowledge the love, affection, encouragement and sacrifice of my mother Mrs. Vrushali and father Mr. Vilas S. Sawant, sister Miss. Karishma V. Sawant. & Brother Mr. Vishal V. Sawant. I must convey my special thanks to my dear friends Yugandhara, Harshala, Priyanka, Rupali, Vidya, Shweta, Sanket, Roshan, Akash, Govind, Hemant, Mayuresh, Pranav, Suhas, Abhishek our whole group members, my whole batchmates, senior and junior friends, and special thanx to my best friend Manish and Sandesh. I wish to thank all those who directly or indirectly played pivotal role in successful completion of my post graduation and this manuscript. Last, but far from the least, I wish to express my deepest gratitude and sole full respect to ‘God’, who helped me on every path of life and made every step a great success. Place: Killa-Roha.
