Abstract: Alphonso is leading variety of mango in India established on an area of 1.82 lakh ha in Konkan region of Maharashtra. Recent changes in climate such as intermittent rains, sudden fluctuations in the temperature, severe cold, fog etc., adversely affect mango fruit by causing physical damage. One of the novel and eco-friendly mean to control above effects is bagging of the fruits. Bagging mango fruit was undertaken at Department of Horticulture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli in summer, 2015. The various treatments namely, T1 – Newspaper bag, T2 – Brown paper bag, T3 – Scurting bag, T4 – Plastic bag, T5 – Butter paper bag, T6 – Muslin cloth bag, T7 – Brown paper bag with polythene coating, T8 –Black polythene bag, T9 Opeque colour bag and T10- Control (without bag) were tried in RBD with three replications. Fruits were bagged at 60 days after fruit set (i.e. egg stage).Bagginghad significant effect on all the qualitative parameters, by reducing mealy bug incidence and spongy tissue occurrence at ripe stage. The fruits of T1 showed best performance in shelf life (17 days).Thus, it is concluded that different type of bags influenced quality of mango fruit.
