Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment on performance of fruit bagging was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar during 2018-19 for producing quality mango with minimum application of pesticides. Mangoes are susceptible to different insect-pest and diseases in this region.In this experiment five BARI released and two commercial mango varieties were evaluated in order to produce quality mango fruits. The mango fruits were bagged on 40 days after fruit set of each variety. Three treatments were used viz., T_1--brown colour double layer paper bag, T₂-white color single layer bag and T₃- control (No bag use). Double layer brown colour paper bag changed fruit color to all varieties. The highest TSS (22%) was recorded from BARI Aam-3 followed by BARI Aam-4 & BARI Aam-1 (20%) and the lowest (15%) from BARI Aam-10. In this experiment, good quality, cleaner, disease and insect free fruits were harvested by fruit bagging technology. These results indicate that fruit bagging improved fruit quality through reduction in disease and insect-pest invasion and also increase shelf life of mango.

Location: Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2018

End Date: 00-00-2019

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mango

Objectives:

The present study will be carried out for getting safe and good quality mango production.

Methodology:

This experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar during 2018-2019. Fruits were bagged at 40 days after fruit set. Prior to fruit bagging, one spays with the mixture of one insecticide (Carbaryl group) and one fungicide (Carbendazim group) was sprayed on mango. Initially 50 fruits were selected for bagging for each variety. Manure and fertilizers were used as recommended dose (Uddin, 2018). Dolochun was used at the rate of 1.5 kg per tree. Irrigation was provided three times started in the month of March and continued upto 15 April.

Achievement/Findings:

From the experimental results, it is concluded that fruit bagging technology is very effective for getting quality mango fruits at Sylhet region. It is advisable to use brown color paper bag for getting coloured fruits i.e., yellow color since white colour paper bag for retains original colour of each variety. Both bags showed their potentiality against major insect-pests and diseases invasion. Bagging fruits have a good shelf life which is important criteria for exportable mango. On the other hand, bagging fruits having attractive color, farmer will get more market prices for their mangoes. Fruit bagging technology protected mango fruits from squirrel infestation which is becoming a threat for fruit production in this region. This technology was found very effective against squirrel invasion.
