When is the best time to bag guava?

Guava bagging function

Guava bagging can improve the taste of the fruit, increase the overall brightness of the fruit surface, and reduce the situation where scars caused by insect pests and external damage reduce the value of the product.

Guava Bagging Time

Guava bags are usually placed about one month after fruiting. This is the best time to place bags. If the bags are placed too early, the fruit will be small, making it difficult to place bags, and the fruit will fall off easily. If the bags are placed too late, the fruit will have grown to a certain size and some pests and diseases will have already occurred, so there is no need to place bags.

Guava bagging method

When bagging guava, you need to first put on the foam net, then put on the outer plastic bag, then tie the foam opening and the bag opening to the branches. Finally, cut a small hole in the middle of the bottom of the plastic bag. Because plastic bags are not airtight, leave this hole for water to leak in to prevent water accumulation in the bag and cause the fruit to rot.

What kind of bag to use: You can choose a plastic bag for the outer layer of the guava, and put the white mesh foam inside. It is best to choose a thicker foam, about 4 mm. The outer bag also needs to be thicker. If it is too thin, it is easy for insects to pierce it and lay eggs in the bag, and the bag will lose its function.

What kind of pesticide should be used before bagging: Before bagging the guava fruits, you need to spray pesticide on the fruits. The concentration of the pesticide should be lower. After spraying, wait for them to dry naturally.
