“…For 'Nanica' cultivar, decreases were more pronounced and had greater amplitude in the last part of the bunch. This response is consistent with the low tolerance of 'Nanica' banana to cold stress when compared to 'Prata' banana (Lima et al, 2018). The dependence of the position of the fruit on the bunch is a consequence of the movement of cold air by convection within the canopy and the opening of the bagging material in the distal portion of the bunch (Harvey, 2006).…”

“…For 'Nanica' cultivar, the temperature limit for cold stress in the field is 12 o C (Lima, 2018), which was reached in the Jun/13-May/14 production cycle in the months from April to October, and in the Jun/14-May/15 production cycle in the months from May to September (Figure 2). For 'Prata' cultivar, the temperature limit for cold stress is considered to be lower than 5 o C, reached in the first production cycle in July and August, while in the second cycle, it was only reached in July, which is in agreement with the smaller variation in the peel color characteristics as a function of the harvest month.…”

“…For these reasons, began to be exported to Europe recently (Colto & Kurashi, 2019). 'Prata' banana is clone tolerant to cool conditions in yield (Crane et al, 2005), while 'Nanica' less tolerant (Lima et al, 2018), with great potential for export.…”

The knowledge of the inter-seasonal fluctuations in characteristics of fruit quality and production is important for management of plants, prediction of yield and marketing strategies. This study aims to evaluate how the climatic conditions prevailing in the month of harvest impact bunch mass and variability of the size and color of the banana fruit ‘Nanica’ and ‘Prata’ cultivated under marginal tropical climate. The experiments were carried in Registro, Ribeira Valley region, São Paulo, Brazil, in a completely randomized design with 24 treatments (months of bunch harvest) and ten replications, for each cultivar. Cyclic seasonal fluctuations in production were found in for the two cultivars, with the lowest bunch mass (BM), fruit size consistently recorded between July and February associated with lower global solar radiation (Rad) and temperature (T) of the harvest month, but not precipitation (Ppt). The extension of monthly fluctuations in BM were similar to ‘Prata’ (18.95±3.31 kg) and ‘Nanica’ (29.51±4.69 kg). Independent of the harvest month, there was a trend of greater variability for fruit length (FL) and lower for fruit diameter (FD) between fruits of the different positions in the bunch. The correlations between Rad or T of harvest month with BM, FL, FD and SL were all positive. For both cultivars, the shelf life (SL) was longer for fruits of the last hand. There were also positive correlations between Rad or T with SL. The decrease of peel color characteristics of the ‘Nanica’ fruit was associated with cold fronts from autumn to spring and chilling injury, with higher intensity in the last hand.

“…The volatile composition of the fruits may be influenced by environmental factors, either directly due to changes in their synthesis rate or indirectly due to effects on ripening processes (KYRIACOU; ROUPHAEL, 2017; BERTIN; GÉNARD, 2018). The materials of the bags used to protect the tomatoes fruits differ in composition, thickness, color, opacity, degree of perforation, transmissivity of radiation, number of layers, which are essential characteristics for temperature control (LIMA et al, 2018). Therefore, the microclimate formed inside the bags in interaction with the genetic factors led to the differences found in this present study.…”

“…There are various types of fruit bags which can change the microclimate inside the bag (LIMA et al, 2018) and promote different effects on fruit growth and ripening (WANG et al, 2017). In order to embrace the technique in vegetables, the cost/benefit must be investigated since bagging is laborious (SHARMA; REDDY; JHALEGAR, 2014) and can be deleterious to the characteristics essential for commercialization (VENDRUSCOLO et al, 2017).…”

Productivity and quality of bagging fruit of hybrid tomatoes

et al. 2020

Tomato cultivation is challenging due to the high susceptibility to various pests and diseases. Fruit borer insects make fruits unfeasible for commercialization because this favors colonization by pathogens. The loss due to borers can be avoided by bagging the bunches of fruit, helping the conventional crop to be more sustainable, reduce the use of pesticides, reduce the residue in fruits and improve the quality of life of rural workers, by less exposure to agrochemicals and poisoning problems. The results are products of better quality and with the possibility of better profitability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of tomato bagging in the control of fruit borer insects, and its effects on lycopene content, taste, productivity and profitability. The experiment was conducted in a field in the municipality of Uberaba-MG, from November 2016 to September 2017. The experimental design was a randomized block design, in a 3 x 5 factorial, with four replications. The factors consisted of three tomato hybrids: Dominador (salad), Ravena (Italian) and Carina Star (Santa Cruz), and fruit bagging types, made by TNW (tissue-non-woven), tulle, organza, brown craft and a control, without fruit bagging. The decision of bagging use depends on the pest incidence in the area and the change in the agronomic characteristics of the tomato. The organza and tulle fruits bagging reduce the incidence of borer insects, relative to the control, in the cultivation in spring-summer. The Dominador presents higher brix content among the evaluated hybrids. Carina Star, when bagged with organza, produces fruits with higher levels of lycopene, and is 116% superior to the other cultivars. From the second harvest, organza fabric is the most profitable bagging, since it is the only one that can be reused several times and is therefore more sustainable.

Performance of Different Bunch Cover Materials to Improve Quality of Cavendish Banana Cultivated during Winter and Summer in Thailand

et al. 2021

Performance of different cover materials on improving Cavendish banana quality was examined during winter and summer. The banana bunch was covered with a thin nonwoven innermost layer, followed by cover materials arranged from inner to outer as follows. (1) Control (commercial cover), paper/polystyrene sheet (PS)/non-perforated blue polyethylene (NPPE), (2) nonwoven (NW)/NPPE, (3) waterproof nonwoven (WPNW), (4) aluminum foil (ALF), and (5) WPNW + ALF. For the summer trial, control without PS layer was applied. Material properties including thickness, light transmissivity and heat energy (Qx) were evaluated. Results showed that Qx values transferred through PS sheet, NW, WPNW and ALF were not significantly different. ALF exhibited the lowest light transmissivity, associated with the highest fruit lightness (L*) and lowest fruit weight. For the winter trial, all cover materials exhibited chilling injury on fruit caused by temperatures below 10 °C. For the summer trial, five treatments prevented sunburn defect. Under field air temperature of 47.5 °C, ALF exhibited the lowest temperature (31.6 °C). All cover materials reduced hand and fruit sizes, whereas WPNW resulted in an increase in total soluble solids and prevented fading of the green peel color. Results suggested that WPNW, with reduced layers as environmentally friendly and reusable materials, had potential as a cover material to improve the quality of Cavendish banana.
