“…Pre-bagged fruit can help to lower the risk of diseases, pests, and/or mechanical harm. These methods have been shown to be successful in preventing fruit borer assaults (Mondal et al, 2015). To improve skin color, and minimize disease, insect pests, mechanical injury, sunburn of the skin, and bird damage, bagging has been widely utilized in numerous fruit crops (Sharma et al, 2014;Islam et al, 2020;Ali et al, 2021).…”

Fruit bagging protects fruits from pest infestation and multiple biotic and abiotic stresses during development without reducing yield. It also can potentially improve the quality and market value of fruits. Hence, the present study aimed to determine the effect of pre-harvest fruit bagging on the yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cv. BARI Tomato-2. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications that constituted the various treatments- T0: Control (no bagging), T1: White paper bag (single layer), T2: Brown paper bag (double layer), T3: Non-woven fabric bag, and T4: Jute bag from October 2021 to March 2022. The results showed that the non-woven fabric bag had the highest fruit length (57.79 mm), diameter (57.81 mm), number of fruits plant-1 (55.9), yield (4.06 kg plant-1), vitamin C (24.63mg/ 100g-1), and lycopene content (0.12 mg g-1). The maximum insect incidence (18.41%) was recorded in control and the minimum was counted in T3 (2.17%). The highest total soluble solid (6.73%0Brix) and dry matter (8.63%) were observed in a white paper bag. The highest mean color score (6.08), firmness (26.81%), and shelf life (13 days) found in fabric bags outperformed non-bagged fruits. The fabric bag showed maximum net income (21.12 TK) and the highest benefit: cost ratio (2.36). Thus, the fabric bag was the best for improving the physical and chemical qualities of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) among the various fruit-covering materials.

“…Bagging, screening, and barrier installation are also thought to be highly beneficial for protecting crops and fruits from insect pests, as well as for keeping away insect pests that function as carriers or vectors of many deadly diseases in animals and humans, or cause annoyance. Because of its effectiveness and lack of pesticidal residue in the fruit, bagging is a better choice for fruit fly management than traditional pesticide spraying (Mondal et al, 2015). For example, dragging field bags in maize or sorghum fields and sugarcane ratoon crops (April/May) to collect sugarcane Pyrilla might minimize the likelihood of mass migration from maize/sorghum to sugarcane and Pyrilla population build-up during the early stages of sugarcane ratoon crop growth.…”

In order to survive and thrive in nature, every organism interacts with the ecosystem’s components, including insect pests. In most situations, the interaction of insects and pests with the ecosystem is detrimental and necessitates control measures. Successful and sustained pest control in agroecosystems is dependent on understanding of the approach, pest biology, and pest ecology. There are occasions when a farmer must use pesticides to control a pest infestation, but there are also numerous non-chemical options. Some of these options are classified as mechanical and physical controlling approaches. Physical and mechanical control measures, which are the oldest of all tactics used directly against pests, kill the pest, interrupt their usual behavior, or alter the environment to discourage pest activity. They are one-of-a-kind in that they have no or minimal negative environmental impacts and leave no residue on agricultural goods. Unlike pesticides, there is no need for official regulation/registration, which would necessitate millions of dollars in research to fulfill environmental and animal toxicity, food safety, and effectiveness criteria. This study has merely highlighted the most important findings in past and recent research on physical and mechanical insect pest management techniques.

“…Finding the right wrapping material is very much important that can minimize fruit fly infestation, improve fruit quality and suit the local climate. Performance of nine different types of wrapping materials (butter paper bag, polypropylene bag of 20μ gauge with and without paper piece inside, non-woven poly fabric bags of white, green and blue color with 20 gsm and 40 gsm thickness) to control fruit fly infestation varied between 1.32 % and 17.31% in all treatments (Mondal et al, 2015).…”

Guava is a popular fruit crop of tropical India, which is a rich source of vitamin C and has many medicinal properties. Guava has 2-3 crops in a year according to climatic and genetic condition of variety. It is a crop which gives high yield but due to damages of fruit fly, quality and quantity of fruits becomes poor. Infestation of fruit fly in India is high during rainy season which causes low demand by consumers. Among all the fruit flies, Bactrocera fruit fly damage fruit quality and quantity of guava crop most and gives significant worth losses. It is very challenging to manage fruit flies due to their adaptation to several regions, wide range of host and biology. New research and techniques are developing day by day but those are insufficient for their control. This review is focused on Bactrocera species which are more damaging in respect to guava orchards of India. Therefore, new methods for controlling the infestation of fruit fly in fruit crops are introduced. The potential of these methods is immense for commercial exploitation. The paper attempt to document the accomplishment made in guava fruit improvement in perspective to Indian conditions. The information is valuable for farmers and academician for further studies.
