India is bestowed with varied soil conditions, which is highly favourable for growing a large number of horticultural crops from tropical to temperate; seasonal to perennial ensuring good returns throughout the year. The farming community of the country has efficiently exploited this natural endowment (Siddiqui et al., 2014). Excessive application of nutrients has the harmful impacts on soil physical, chemical and biological system which are the pillars of soil fertility resulting in several socio-economic and environmental concerns. Further, the food and nutritional security of ever increasing population in the scenario of changing climate, decreasing arable land for production indicates the attention of holistic soil fertility management approach for sustainable production of horticultural crops. Relevant indices of sustainable horticulture and resource management include soil quality and resilience and factors affecting them and temporal changes in productivity and use efficiency of non-renewable or input of limited resources (Lal, 2008) which there by helps in sustainability productivity of horticultural crops.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of preharvest bagging at marble stage on physical parameters of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. ALPHONSO in the year 2012 from March to June, undertaken in Randomized Block Design. Mango fruits were subjected to six types of bagging treatments with 3 replications at 30 days after fruit set (Marble stage). The present study concluded that different types of bags influenced the growth and development of mango fruit. All treatments showed improved fruit retention over the control. The physical parameters i.e. fruit weight, length, diameter, pulp weight, pulp to stone ratio of Alphonso mango varied significantly due to bagging and were similar to those of control at 90 days after fruit set and at harvest stage.Keywords
