    HARVESTING AND HANDLING

    Rambutans are harvested when the fruit has reached


    optimum visual and organoleptic quality. The fruit
    is non-climacteric with little change in total soluble
    solids or titratable acidity after harvest. Rambutans
    rapidly deteriorate unless proper handling techniques
    are employed. Visual appearance can be maintained if
    moisture loss (largely from the spinterns) is minimised
    (95% relative humidity) and the fruit is refrigerated
    (7–10°C, depending on cultivar). Under these
    conditions, rambutans have a storage life of
    approximately 10 – 15 days.

    PEST AND DISEASES

    Trunk Canker : Clean the affected area with a


    wire-brush and apply Bordeaux Paste.

    Mealy bug : Spray verticillium lecanii 5ml/l.

    Fruit drop : spray wettable sulphur 3g/l.
