Abstract: An field experiment was conducted to investigate the “Studies on effect of impregnated bags on quality of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Mallika taken up at the AICRP on irrigation water management, VNMKV Parbhani in the year 2016-17 from February to June which constituted seven treatments T1-Methoxam treated bag, T2-decis bag, T3-Potassium metabisulphite treated bag, T4-Methoxam + Decis treated, T5-Potassium metabisulphite + Decis treated bag, T6-Untreated bag, T7-Control (no bagging), undertaken in Randomized Block Design. Mango fruits were subjected to seven treatments with tree replication at 30 days after fruit set. Result showed that the physical parameters such as were affected significantly due to bagging. The T2 decis bag showed best performance length of fruit T2 (12.69 cm), diameter of fruit (7.86 cm) than control. Maximum pulp weight found (237.83), pulp to stone ratio (5.8:1), pulp percent (42.22%) and weight of fruit T1 (367.39 g). Infestation of pests and diseases found were non-significantly varied due to bagging. The result showed that the minimum incidence of pest (fruit fly, stone weevil, mealy bug, spotted fruit) was noticed nil in T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 and where as T6 and T7 highest percentage of incidence of pest was recorded and also spotted fruits. The minimum fruit drop was recorded at harvest in T3 (1.94%). Bagging of mango fruits prior to harvest controlled mechanical damage caused by various factors, improved colour and physic-chemical properties of fruit. Thus, it was concluded impregnated bags influenced growth and development of mango fruit and it is one of the best alternative to avoid adverse effect of recent changes in climate on fruit.
