An investigation was undertaken to study the effect of pre-harvest fruit bagging on physical and physiological properties of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Phule Bhagwa super during 2019-2020 in Randomized Block Design. Pomegranate fruits were bagged 30 days after fruit set with different types of bags viz.Butter paper bag (T1), Brown paper bag (T2), Parchment bag (T3), English newspaper bag (T4) (60 gsm), Marathi newspaper bag (T5) (35 gsm) and Control (T6) (without bagging).Significant influence of bagging treatments was observed on the physical and physiological characters of the pomegranate fruit. Result showed that pomegranate fruit bagged with Parchment bag (T3)recorded maximum fruit length (6.61 cm), fruit diameter (6.34 cm) , fruit weight(316.44 g), marketable yield (25.68 kgplant-1 and 19.00 tonha-1) and aril percentage (72.89 %). This treatment also recorded minimum PLW (5.76 %, 12.23 % and 18.03 % at 3rd, 6th, 9th days after harvest, respectively) and maximum shelf life (24.71 days). Bagged fruits were totally free from cracking and sunburn injury.
