Fruit bagging protects fruits from pest infestation and multiple biotic abiotic stresses during development without reducing yield. It also can potentially improve the quality market value of fruits. Hence, present study aimed to determine effect pre-harvest fruit on yield tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cv. BARI Tomato-2. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) w...

The effects of fruit bagging treatments with seven different types bags on the physicochemical characteristics three table grape cultivars: RuiduZaohong (RDZH), RuiduHongyu (RDHY), and RuiduHongmei (RDHM) were investigated. Headspace-solid-phase micro-extraction combined gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was used to determine compositions monoterpenes in fruit. results showed...
