*3.6. Effects on the Shelf Life*

Data revealed that, all treatments enhanced the shelf-life periods of guava fruit coated with the natural edible materials over the control, and the superior treatments in this respect were GA (10%) and GA (10%) + moringa leaf extract (10%) during two studied seasons, 2019 and 2020, respectively (Figure 6).
