Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of various pre-harvest fruit bagging materials on the quality and development of the Banganapalli mango culti-var. The bagging materials tested included red/black double-layered bags, brown/black double-layered bags, single-layered brown paper bags, single-layered white paper bags, butter paper bags, agro-plastic sleeve bags, and a control (no bagging). Bagging treatments were applied 45 days after the fruit set. The results demonstrated that fruits bagged in brown/black double -layered bags significantly improved fruit retention (78.24%) and fruit weight (641.8 g), along with enhancements in fruit peel color, firmness, and key quality attributes such as total soluble solids (TSS) (17.72°Brix), TSS: acid ratio (60.17), ascorbic acid content (54.37 mg/100g), and beta-carotene content (12,687.25 micro gram/100g of pulp). The shelf life of these fruits extend-ed to 16 days, with a notable reduction in fruit fly infestation and disease incidence (4.89%). Additionally, enzymatic activities such as catalase (14.9%), peroxidase (10.7%), and beta-glucosidase (4.92%) were increased. These findings suggest that pre-harvest bagging is highly effective in en-hancing fruit quality and resistance to biotic stresses, offering mango farm-ers a valuable strategy to produce superior-quality fruit and achieve higher returns in both domestic and international markets.
