The effects of the application effects of gibberelic acid, 6-benzilaminopurine (6-BAP), and indol-3-acetic acid (IAA) at 100 or 200 mg L-1 and calcium chloride at 1% or 2% by vacuum infiltration (500 mmHg.20 minute-1), on postharvest 'Paluma' guavas were studied. The fruits were stored at 21,6ºC, 73,4% UR and periodically analyzed physic and chemically. The treatments with 1% or 2% CaCl2 were the best with 'Paluma' guavas, showing a shelflife of 7 days, increasing its in one day, when compared with other treatments. These treatments did not affect significantly the evolution of color and firmess during the ripening.
