Popis: In this study, the effect of bagging on fruit quality of three pummelo (Citrus grandis Osbeck) cultivars was evaluated in order to provide basis for high-quality and high-efficient cultivation of pummelo cultivars. Seven bagging times was set at 35, 50, 65, 80, 95, 110, and 125 days after flowering (DAF). Different bagging treatments all effectively improved the external fruit quality, such as beautiful peel color and smooth oil vacuole. The weight per fruit, longitudinal and transverse diameter revealed decrease trends along with the delay of bagging times. In addition, bagging treatments somewhat decreased the content of internal quality, including total soluble solid, vitamin C and sugar, being significantly lower than that in control check. Taking the external and internal fruit quality into consideration, we determined the appropriate bagging times for three cultivars. The best bagging time was at 35, 80, and 65 days after flowering for ‘Sanhongmiyou’, ‘Hongroumiyou’ and ‘Huangjinmiyou’, respectively. It will provide effective basis for bagging treatments in the pummelo producing area.
