What to pay attention to when removing bags from apples

Although we can now eat the freshest apples all year round, for growers there are still many difficulties in the growing process. Today we will introduce to you the precautions for removing bags from apples, let's take a look together!

1. Precautions for removing bags from apples

When removing bags, pay attention to temperature difference and humidity; humidity also affects how quickly the fruit colours. The lower-layer bags should be removed first, then the upper-layer bags. After removing the bags, calcium should be supplemented and pesticide sprayed promptly, and pay attention to leaf picking and fruit turning.

2. Other precautions

1. Pest and disease control: about three days before bag removal, thoroughly eliminate pathogens in the orchard, and spray fungicides and insecticides carefully and thoroughly over the whole orchard, to avoid pathogens infecting the bagged fruit under high-humidity conditions such as light rain and heavy fog, while also greatly reducing the overwintering base of pests and diseases.

2. Pay attention to irrigation. Before bag removal, irrigate lightly once to reduce the occurrence of fruit cracking after bag removal and water loss from the apples.

3. Pruning. A few days before bag removal, the inner-canopy and back-borne water shoots, and some dense, useless branches that seriously affect light, should be thinned out. Pay attention to pruning dead branches that may easily cause damage to the fruit in time, to prevent them from puncturing the fruit.

4. Lay reflective film. After bag removal, lay reflective film promptly; it is best to lay it on the same day in plots where bags are removed that day.
