Abstract: The present investigation was undertaken at Horticultural Research Centre, Patharchatta of G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar, Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand to see the effects of different bagging materials materials (brown paper bag, black polythene bag, muslin cloth bag, cellophane bag, single parchment paper bag, double parchment paper bag, triple parchment paper bag, net bag, news paper bag and control) eight bagging dates (48 days before normal harvest, 42 days before normal harvest, 36 days before normal harvest, 30 days before normal harvest, 24 days before normal harvest, 18 days before normal harvest, 12 days before normal harvest and 6 days before normal harvest) during the year 2016 and 2017. Fruits bagged triple parchment shows the significant effect to decrease the acidity by 3.70 % as compare to unbagged fruits 4.27 %. The same bag also helpful increase the TSS (21.03oBrix) as well as total sugar, reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar. Among the different bagging days fruits bagged 48 days prior to harvest shows significant effect for all the parameters.
