One of the main reasons for bagging fruit on trees is to protect it from pests. Insects such as fruit flies, codling moths, beetles, and leafhoppers are attracted to ripening fruit and can lay eggs or feed on the surface. When larvae hatch inside the fruit, it becomes damaged and often unsellable. Bagging provides a physical barrier that prevents insects from reaching the fruit, reducing the need for chemical insecticides and lowering crop losses. Disease Prevention Fruits are vulnerable to fungal and bacterial infections, especially in humid environments typical of many parts of Asia. Spores can spread easily through the air or rain splash. Bagging helps to limit direct contact with environmental agents that carry disease, such as infected rainwater, soil, or plant debris. This results in healthier fruit and reduces reliance on fungicides, which is both environmentally beneficial and cost-effective for growers. Sunburn Prevention Exposure to intense sunlight can cause “sunburn” on the...
