“…Symptom includes bleached, yellow-white fruit skin, turning pale grey or brown upon damage to the tissue underneath. It will influence fruit quality of fruit and then lead to economic loss (ZHANG et al, 2009;RABIE & MBATHA, 2016).…”

“…These measures are less-costly, but they result in some disadvantages: leaves wrapping fruits grow poorly and rice straw could be the suitable place for some diseases and pests. Recently, some new measures were proposed including shading (KISHORE et al, 2021;ZHAO et al, 2020a,b,c), application of liquid sun shield film (RABIE & MBATHA, 2016), application of crop protectant (BELL et al, 2006), and fruit bagging (LU et al, 2010(LU et al, , 2011PRABHA et al, 2018;ZHAO et al, 2019). Shading needs a shading net and intercropping system.…”

Paper and plastic bags have been mainly used in fruit bagging of pineapple production. However, they are often discarded as agricultural wastes after harvest of pineapple fruit and threaten environment. In this study, effects of white non-woven fabric bag, expandable polyethylene bag, black plastic bag and kraft paper bag on fruit quality of pineapple cv. ‘MD-2’ were investigated. Results showed that fruits with fruit bagging showed no sunburn. When expandable polyethylene bag was used, fruits of pineapple cv. ‘MD-2’ showed better external qualities, nutrition qualities and texture properties. Expandable polyethylene bag made of degradable and recyclable materials could be recommended as a promising practice to reduce agricultural waste in pineapple production.

The demand for fresh pineapple fruit is currently highest for the MD2 pineapple variety. Continuous efforts are made to enhance the quality of MD2 pineapples, including the fruit skin colour, flesh colour, sweetness, and minimizing sunburn damage. Bagging is one of the pre-harvest methods that can be employed for this purpose. This research aims to find suitable bagging materials that meet the industry's criteria and assess the severity of sunburn in each bagging treatment. A completely randomized design was used in this study, with six different bagging materials and pineapples aged 80 Days After Forcing (DAF). The bagging materials used were the control, blue Polyethylene (PE) bag, white PE bag, black patent bag, paper bag, and the existing cap-shaped bagging technique using recycled paper from banana bagging, as utilized by PT. Great Giant Pineapple. Each treatment involved 120 pineapple samples harvested at 140 DAF. MD2 pineapples without bagging were found to provide the best results according to PT. Great Giant Pineapple's criteria, with green skin colour (1.35%) and uniform yellow flesh (85.62%).
