In advanced agriculture, non-conventional farming has been popularized very much. It is offering innumerable merits based
on its practical application and societal acceptance. Current study was conducted to compare the impact of different farming
systems cropping years and storage period on storage quality performance of Kinnow mandarin. Certain physiological
characteristics of Kinnow mandarin including physiological loss of weight (PLW %), fruit rottening (FR %), chilling injury
(CI %) and peel pitting (PP %) were studied during long cold storage (up to 90 days) at 4-6°C. Significantly the lowest fruit
rottening, chilling injury and peel pitting were observed in integrated Kinnow whereas the lowest physiological weight loss
was found in the organically grown fruits. The results also revealed that the intensity of physiological rottening of Kinnow
mandarin was significantly increased with the increasing of storage period (15-60 days). However, negligible changes were
observed at the storage after 60 days. The organic and integrated Kinnow showed better and comparable physiological
characteristics during cold storage. It can be perceived through reviewing the competitive performance of non-conventional
(integrated and organic) fruit that there were prevailing equal opportunities of adopting and transferring into integrated and
organic Kinnow production in Pakistan.
