Pre- and post-harvest fruit bagging has emerged as a vital strategy in mango cultivation to address challenges posed by climate change. This technique provides a protective barrier against pests, diseases, and environmental stressors such as extreme temperatures, irregular rainfall, and sunburn. Pre-harvest bagging enhances fruit quality by improving skin coloration, reducing blemishes, and minimizing pesticide residues, thereby increasing market value. Post-harvest bagging, on the other hand, maintains fruit quality during transportation and storage by reducing moisture loss, mechanical damage, and contamination. These interventions contribute to sustainable mango production, reducing reliance on chemical inputs while ensuring high-quality yields. The method aligns well with eco-friendly agricultural practices and meets the growing demand for clean and safe produce. Given the increasing impacts of climate variability, integrating bagging into mango farming systems can play a pivotal role in ensuring resilience, profitability, and consumer acceptance.

摘要

Pre- and post-harvest fruit bagging has emerged as a vital strategy in mango cultivation to address challenges posed by climate change. This technique provides a protective barrier against pests, diseases, and environmental stressors such as extreme temperatures, irregular rainfall, and sunburn. Pre-harvest bagging enhances fruit quality by improving skin coloration, reducing blemishes, and minimizing pesticide residues, thereby increasing market value. Post-harvest bagging, on the other hand, maintains fruit quality during transportation and storage by reducing moisture loss, mechanical damage, and contamination. These interventions contribute to sustainable mango production, reducing reliance on chemical inputs while ensuring high-quality yields. The method aligns well with eco-friendly agricultural practices and meets the growing demand for clean and safe produce. Given the increasing impacts of climate variability, integrating bagging into mango farming systems can play a pivotal role in ensuring resilience, profitability, and consumer acceptance.
