- Fruit flies and thrips  

- Anthracnose and black spot fungi  

*Inferior bags with porous paper or weak seams invite infestations. 

2. Climate Resilience Essentials  

High-quality bags must balance:  

- Water resistance(monsoon protection)  

- Breathability(prevents steam burn)  

- Tensile strength(wind resistance)  

3. Premium Fruit Production  

Mexican Ataulfo mangoes using certified bags show:  

↑ 40% blemish-free fruit

4 Practical Quality Tests (Using Household Items)  

Test 1: Water Resistance Check  

Procedure:  

1. Pour 50ml water into laid-flat bag  

2. Wait 10 minutes  

Pass Standard:  

✓ Zero outer surface moisture  

✓ Dry bottom seams  

*Failures indicate high monsoon rot risk 

Test 2: Light Diffusion Test  

Tools: Smartphone flashlight + white paper  

Method:  

1. Press light against bag interior  

2. Hold paper 4" outside bag  

Quality Sign:  

✓ Uniform light pattern  

✓ ≥70% shade rate (for mango sunburn prevention)  

Test 3: Tear Resistance Trial  

Execution:  

Stretch bag vertically until tearing  

Minimum Requirements:  

✓ 3.1" (8cm) vertical stretch  

✓ 2" (5cm) horizontal stretch  

*Weak bags tear during storms 

Test 4: Wire Integrity Exam  

For knife-handle bags:  

1. Twist top wire 3 turns  

2. Release and measure rebound  

Acceptable Tolerance:  

✓ ≤15° rebound angle  

✓ No paper tearing  

*Excessive rebound causes bag loss

4 Deadly Bag Defects to Avoid  

1. UV-Brittle Bags  

- Identification: White creases when folded  

- Risk: Shatters after 2 sun-exposed weeks  

2. Light-Leaking Bags  

- Detection: Visible hot spots indoors  

- Consequence: >60% sunscald incidence  

3. Low-Rebound Wire Bags  

- Test Failure: >15° wire rebound  

- Hazard: 40% bag loss in windy conditions  

4. Toxic-Adhesive Bags  

- Warning Sign: Pungent odor at seams  

- Danger: Heavy metal fruit contamination
