Abstract

Preharvest bagging is a key agricultural technology in the process of the growth and development of young fruits. It can effectively improve the appearance quality of fruits, reduce pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and prevent pests and birds from harming fruits. China is one of the world’s major fruit producers. It is also the country that uses the most fruit cultivating bags. At present, the fruit cultivating bags used in Chinese orchards are mostly paper. Ways to recycle and reuse the waste fruit cultivating bags should be paid attention to. Therefore, this paper comprehensively uses the methods of data analysis and literature research to summarize and analyze. The data mainly comes from the China Rural Statistical Yearbook, a national public service platform for standard information, China’s national knowledge internet and the web of science. The topics discussed include the current situation of fruit production in China, the overview of fruit bagging technology, the production and use of fruit cultivating bags and the recycling strategy of waste fruit cultivating bags. It is hoped that this study can provide some references to the development of fruit bagging technology and the resource reuse and recycling of waste fruit cultivating bags in China and the world in the future.
