N2  - The present study was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2002 and 2003 on Maamoura guava fruits (Psidium guajava L.) to evaluate the influence of various post-harvest treatments on the storage ability of guava fruits. Guava fruits were stored at 5± 1° C or at 8± 1° C and 90 % relative humidity (RH) after using some post harvest treatments (Hot water or fungicide or calcium chloride treatment) then packing the fruits in carton boxes of 3 Kg capacity The results showed that fruits treated with CaCl2 gave the highest values of all the considered fruit characteristics. Concerning the storage temperatures, no significant differences were detected between 5± 1° C or 8± 1° C in their effect on the stored fruits during storage but fruits stored at 5°C gave better results after the end of storage than the other ones
