Time and method of apple bagging

Nowadays, many fruits are bagged when they are planted, and apples are no exception. Bagging can improve the micro-environment of the fruit, improve the quality of the fruit, prevent diseases and insect pests, avoid contact with pesticides, and reduce the residual poison of the fruit. So when is Apple bagging? How do I bag it? Let's take a look.

1. Bagging time

The bagging time depends on the variety. Except for the varieties that are prone to fruit rust, the bagging time for the early and middle mature varieties is generally carried out one month after falling flowers, while the bagging time for the middle and late maturing varieties is generally carried out 35-45 days after falling flowers. Bagging time is too early, the skin of the apple will be smoother, but the pedicel is smaller, in the later stage, if the fruit is heavier or in case of strong wind, it will cause fruit drop; bagging time is too late, the skin of the fruit is rough, affecting the commodity rate.

2. Bagging preparation

As the specifications and quality of the bagging produced by various manufacturers are different, and there is no chemical treatment for bagging, and some fruit farmers find that rotten fruit and other diseases often occur after bagging, they should carry out disinfection and sterilization before bagging, remove the bacteria they carry, and spray a germicidal insecticide on the surface of the fruit. In addition, the picked apples after bagging are very prone to black spot disease and pockmark disease, which affect the fruit quality and storage performance, so it is necessary to spray calcium fertilizer once or twice before bagging to avoid this phenomenon.

3. Bagging method

Bagging is generally the choice of paper bags, low cost, suitable for the majority of growers, bagging inflated to the bag, and then put the young fruit into the bag, be careful not to put the paper bag close to the fruit surface, lest the sun cause burns. After the bag is tied up, the leaves are exposed on the outside of the paper bag, and double-layer bagging can be carried out. The effect is better, but the medicine should be careful not to tie the iron wire to the fruit handle so as not to cause fruit drop.

4. Regular inspection

Regular inspection should be carried out after bagging, and it is found that the phenomenon of bag loosening, bag hanging and bag leakage should be dealt with and corrected in time, and after spraying, so as not to stick to the fruit surface after the bag is wet, affecting the ventilation in the bag, and easy to cause sunburn phenomenon.

5. Management after bagging

In order to strengthen the management of the garden after bagging, we should first turn the soil deeply after the overcast and rainy weather, increase the soil permeability and expand the root distribution range. 80-100cm is suitable for deep ploughing. At the same time, it is also necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably. The amount of fertilizer applied to apples after bagging is greater than that before bagging, especially the application of trace elements. After bagging, it should be watered in time to prevent sunburn. The prevention and control of diseases and insect pests should not be taken lightly. We should focus on the prevention and control of deciduous diseases and insect pests. At the same time, we should pay attention to the special diseases and insect pests caused by bagging.
