This study researched the effects of earthing up and trimming systems on the post-harvest quality of attractive woman. For both the field and workshop studies, the tests were conducted in split-plots set up in randomized complete block design (RCBD) and reserved random field (CRD), individually. Data on fruit yield was collected following each harvest. The average burden loss % and total dissolved solids in two together cultivations were significantly affected apiece factors (earthing up and trimming system) as determined by the judgments of the analysis of difference for those factors' individual and combined belongings. The average weight deficit %, total soluble solid residue from liquid solution, and fruit firmness in two together cultivations were significantly jolted by the treatments. The arrangements with all stem shearing and no earthing up demonstrated the highest product weight misfortune percentages. The highest crop firmness (3.41 N mm-1 in cultivation 1 and 3.24 N mm-1 in sophistication 2) was recorded from a sole stem pruning system and earthing until 30 cm. 6.09 % was recorded.The cultivations accompanying the highest total dissolved solids (TSS) percentages used a distinct stem pruning design and up to 30 cm of earthing. Farmers are urged to consider using a threefold stem pruning system as well 30 cm of earthing to optimize attractive woman postharvest.
