Abstract
This study was carried out during the seasons of 2002 and 2003 to evaluate the effect of calcium chloride, GA3 and carbendazim as preharvest treatments on fruit characteristics at harvest time and their effect on storability of  apricot  fruit at cold storage .The data revealed that, spraying apricot trees two weeks before harvest with carbendazim at 750 ppm was effective for reducing decay fruit percentage at cold storage and keeping the quality of apricots for one month after harvest . Furthermore, spraying trees with GA3 at 25 ppmand CaCl2 at 2% enhanced fruit firmness, reduced the percent of decayed fruit and the total weight loss in of apricot fruits. Also, these treatments keept fruit quality and extend marketing period of apricot fruit in Egyptian emporiums .
