Preharvest bagging with wavelength‐selective materials enhances development and quality of mango (<i>Mangifera indica</i> L.) cv. Nam Dok Mai #4

Abstract

Preharvest bagging with different wavelength-selective materials affected mango development and quality. Bagging mangoes with VM and V materials could reduce peel defects and diseases, increase weight, size, and sphericity, improve peel appearance, and shorten the development periods of mangoes. The results suggest a favorable practice using the newly developed VM and V plastic bags in the production of mangoes, and possibly other fruits as well.
