Abstract: The present research was done to investigate the effect of different type of bunch protection material on postharvest quality of Banana and all related experiments were conducted at tissue culture banana farm and departmental laboratory in the year 2018-19. Five treatments were given in which fruit bunches were covered by Blue HDPE, Silver HDPE, White LDPE, Non-woven bag along with the Control (uncovered). Fruit bunches were covered at finger curling stage. Once fruits were matured they were harvested and kept at ambient temperature. Observations related to its physical parameters were recorded and the results indicated that pre harvest bunch covering affected the postharvest physical quality of Banana. Among bagging the best results were obtained in non woven bags followed by Blue HDPE bag. In non woven the maximum fruit weight 124.89 g, pulp to peel ratio 4.41 and moisture content 71.52% were recorded and same time minimum weight loss 1.76% was observed.
