Abstract: Effects of different materials bagging during mango fruits (Mangifera indica L. cv. Zihua) growth on fruit storage quality and ripening under 20℃ and 85%~95% RH were studied in this experiment. The results showed that bagging significantly decreases fruit peel rust incidence while improves fruits peel yellowing. It was also found that bagging has little effect on ripening and storage quality of postharvest mango fruit. Nov-woven fabric bag is better than paper bag.

Key words: bagging, mango, storage quality
