Influence of Preharvest Fruit Bagging on Quality, Disease and Pest Incidence in Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) cv. ‘Crimson Seedless’

Key Points

• Bagging grapes enhances quality and decreases pest and disease incidence, showing significant benefits.
• Quality attributes improved significantly, with a notably lower pest incidence by 30% when bagging was applied.
• Observational analysis across grape fields indicates a connection between preharvest interventions and fruit outcomes.
• These findings may enable more effective pest management strategies in vineyards to enhance grape production.
