Time and method for bagging peaches (when is the best time to bag peach trees)

Peach tree bagging technology is a cultivation technology measure aimed at protecting peach fruit. It can improve the quality of the fruit, make the fruit green and environmentally friendly, and effectively promote fruit farmers' income.

Peach tree bagging is widely used in my country, but many fruit farmers are unable to operate it correctly, resulting in results that do not achieve the expected results.

The best time to bag peaches

The best time to bag the fruit is after thinning the fruit in early May . Although the earlier the bagging, the better the fruit appearance, if the bagging is too early, the fruit will often fall in the bag, increasing production costs. Therefore, it is best to bag the fruit immediately after the physiological fruit drop and thinning are completed.

Types of peach fruit bags

At present, there are two types of paper bags used in production: single-layer paper bags and double-layer paper bags. Generally, single-layer bags are used for varieties that are easy to color , and double-layer bags are used for varieties that are difficult to color. Plastic bags are generally not suitable for peaches, as they are darkly colored and have serious diseases .

The simple method of bagging peaches

After selecting the young fruit, carefully remove the petals and other debris attached to the young fruit, hold the paper bag with your left hand, open the bag opening with your right hand, or blow open the bag opening with your mouth to make the bag swell, open the ventilation and drainage holes at the two corners of the bottom of the bag, and put the fruit in.

After putting the fruit on, place the fruit stalk at the base of the bag opening, and then fold the bag opening at the cut in a "folding fan" manner from both sides of the bag opening. Tie the bag opening tightly at the folded part with the tying wire, so that the young fruit is in the center of the bag and suspended in the bag.

Notes on peach bagging

Before bagging peach trees, they should be sprayed evenly with fungicides and insecticides , such as cypermethrin, methyl thiophanate, etc. Although bagging can significantly improve the appearance quality of the fruit, its intrinsic quality is reduced in most cases.

In order to maintain the original flavor of the fruit and increase the sugar content of the bagged fruit, it is necessary to increase organic fertilizers and apply chemical fertilizers reasonably. It is best to apply special compound fertilizers to ensure comprehensive and reasonable nutrients.
