Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestCan fruit bags change the development schedule as well as protect mango peel?
Bag materials modify the fruit's light environment and can affect development, not merely exclude contact or pests. Research with wavelength-selective bags found a different maturity schedule from unbagged controls. Follow bagged and unbagged fruit separately when introducing a material, and inspect internal development rather than applying the old picking date automatically. Treat the observed response as specific to the tested material and growing conditions.
