“…However, studies that involve fruit bagging technique have presented divergent results. Huang et al (2009) working with pear fruits and Yang et al (2009) with apples, both bagged in paper bags, reported reduction of titratable acidity of the fruits. On the other hand, apple fruits bagged with TNT were not affected on the titratable acidity content when compared to non-bagged fruits (Teixeira et al, 2011).…”

The possibility of cultivation without the use of chemical insecticides or reduction thereof, associated with the requirements of consumers has motivated growers to return to the practice of bagging fruit, but it is possible that this technique causes changes in the visual and organoleptic characteristics of fruits. The objective of this study was to evaluate possible changes in postharvest characteristics in 'Valerin' tomato fruits produced inside nonwoven bags (TNT) and validate the best period for bagging. The fruits came from commercial cultivation of tomato plants, located in "Ubajara", "Ceará" State, Brazil. The experiment design used 2 × 4 factorial randomized blocks with five repetitions. The factors considered two types of insecticide use: 1-Plants treated with insecticides and 2-Plants not treated with insecticides, and four ways to bag the bunches with nonwoven fabric (TNT): T1-Bagging flower, T2-Bagging the bunches with fruits with a 1.5 cm diameter, T3-Bagging the bunches with fruits with a 3.0 cm diameter, and T4-Bunches not bagged (control). Variations in color parameters (brightness and hue angle) and firmness did not compromise the fruit quality when bagging was conducted in the flower stage (T1) or when the fruits had a 1.5 cm diameter (T2). The other parameters (titratable acidity, total soluble solids, total carotenoids, lycopene and ß-carotene) showed no change when compared to the control. Bagging the tomato bunches in the flower stage or when the fruits had a 1.5 cm diameter did not change the postharvest quality.Additional key words: Solanum lycopersicum, pest control, fruit quality.

“…For example, several studies have reported that bagging could improve fruit size or weight (Kim et al 2000(Kim et al , 2003Yang et al 2009), external fruit quality (Ritenour et al 1997;Tyas et al 1998;Han et al 1999;Amarante et al 2002b;Jia et al 2005;Huang et al 2009;Wu et al 2009;Xu et al 2010;Hudina et al 2012;Sharma et al 2013), fruit firmness (Hofman et al 1997;Sharma et al 2013) and total soluble solids (TSS) content (Li et al 2006;Singh et al 2007;Wu et al 2009;Xu et al 2010;Ni et al 2011;Sharma et al 2013). Among these reports, most of them have indicated the reduction of incidence of pest infestation (Amarante et al 2002b;Teixeira et al 2011aTeixeira et al , 2011b, diseases (Kitagawa et al 1992;Hofman et al 1997;Amarante et al 2002a;Sharma et al 2013) and physiological disorders (Amarante et al 2002a(Amarante et al , 2002bTeixeira et al 2011b;Sharma et al 2013) in bagged fruits.…”

The effects of bagging on fruit characteristics and its role in physical fruit protection were investigated in three pitaya cultivars: Vietnam White (VN-White) and Chuchi Liu (Hylocereus undatus), and Chaozou 5 (Hylocereus sp.). The experiment comprised four treatments: paper-white bag (P-WB), net screen-black bag, polyethylene plasticblack bag (PP-BB), polyethylene plastic-white bag (PP-WB) and non-bagged control. Fruit bagging did not change the fruit lightness but significantly affected other peel colorimetric parameters. VN-White fruits bagged with P-WB became redder (a* ¼ 27.6), less yellow (b* ¼ 4.4) and had higher colour purity (h8 ¼ 10.7) than non-bagged fruits. Fruits with P-WB in Chuchi Liu also showed significant difference in b* and h8 values as compared with control. Bagging with PP-BB or PP-WB in Chaozou 5 also produced redder fruits (a* ¼ 31.7 and 30.3) with more colour intensity (C* 5 32.4 and 31.3) than non-bagged fruits. There were no significant differences in fruit size and weight, total soluble solids content and fruit ripening duration among treatments in all three cultivars. Fruit firmness also exhibited no significant differences among most treatments except for PP-BB, which gave a lower value than other treatments. In general, fruit bagging could reduce the peel thickness but could not increase the edible fruit rate. The most important role of fruit bagging was to effectively protect fruits from physiological factors such as cracking, bird damage and blemish, which led to the significant decrease of the total damaged and defective fruits (13.7-33.3%), as compared with non-bagged control (66.7-72.6%).

“…The decreased number of fruits per bunch observed after bagging may also be attributed to changes in the microclimate inside the bag caused by the increase in temperature (WANG et al, 2007). Although, this variable was not evaluated in the present study, there may have been a difference in temperature between inside and outside of bags.…”

Fruit bagging is an efficient mechanical control technique used in fruit growing. However, to date, few studies have evaluated the efficacy of bagging in the cultivation of vegetables, including tomato crops. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of bagging of tomato flowers and/or fruits using a non-woven fabric (NWF) for the control of Helicoverpa spp., Neoleucinodes elegantalis, and Tuta absoluta, to evaluate the effect of this technique on the final yield, and determine the optimal period for bagging. Tests were conducted in a commercial crop of staked ‘Valerin’ tomato plants located in the municipality of Ubajara, Ceará State, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks with a 2x4 factorial design (sprayed versus unsprayed plants, and both plant groups were bagged with NWF bags at different growth stages [flowers bagging, bagging of bunches of fruits with a diameter of 1.5cm, bagging of bunches of fruits with a diameter of 3.0cm, and unbagged bunches (control)], with five repetitions. We evaluated the number of fruits per bunch, number of bunches per plant, weight of each fruit, longitudinal and transverse diameter, percentage of bored fruits, yield loss caused by insect infestation, and final yield. Bagging of ‘Valerin’ tomato bunches with NWF bags was effective for the control of N. elegantalis, and productivity increased by 21.5% when bagging was done in bunches of fruits with a diameter of 1.5cm compared with unbagged fruits; therefore, this growth period was the most suitable for bagging.
