Abstract

The Present investigation was carried out in a private farm located at at Kafr El-Sohbi village, Qalubia governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of bagging type on reducing Keitt mango fruit disorders and improving fruit quality during 2014 and 2015 seasons. The bagging treatments were, without bag (control), news paper bag, white paper bag, agrail white bag, agrail red bag, agrail blue bag and agrail green bag. The treatments started at early June and sustained till harvest time. The obtained results showed that, bagging fruits with agrail red bag increased number of fruits per tree, fruit weight, yield per tree and vitamin C content. While, the number &weight of sunburn fruits /tree was reduced as compared to the other treatments. Moreover, bagging fruits with agrail green bag increased fruit length, fruit thickness, TSS %. On the other hand, bagging fruits with news paper bag increased fruit firmness and total acidity percentage. Moreover, bagging with agrail white bag had a significant effect on increasing values of lightness (L). While, bagging with agrail blue bag had a significant effect on higher values of hue angle (h) compared to the other treatments. Generally, it can be recommended from this study that, bagging Keitt mango fruits with agrail red bag and agrail blue bag was the best in reducing fruit disorders with improving fruit quality.
