The trial was carried out in a tree-year-old peach crop. The cultivar 'Aurora 2' was conducted in a modern vase system with 6 m between rows and 4 m between plants. The experimental design followed randomized blocks with 15 treatments, 8 replications and 16 fruits per treatment. The treatments were the following: T1- white and closed TNT (tissue non-tissue) bag (45G/m²), T2 - white and opened TNT bag (45G/m²), T3 - white and closed TNT bag (20G/m²), T4 - white and opened TNT bag (20G/m²), T5 - transparent polypropelene microperfurated and closed bag (1mm of diameter), T6 - transparent polypropelene microperfurated and opened bag (1mm of diameter), T7 - transparent polypropelene microperfurated and closed bags (2mm of diameter), T8 - transparent polypropelene microperfurated and opened bag (2mm of diameter), T9 - milky microperfurated polyetilene and closed bag (1mm of diameter), T10 - milky microperfurated polyetilene and opened bag (1mm of diameter), T11 - milky microperfurated polyetilene and closed bag (2mm of diameter), T12 - milky microperfurated polyetilene and opened bags (2mm of diameter), T13 - closed and waterproof paper bag, T14 - opened and waterproof paper bag, T15 - check treatment (unbaggedfruits). The white and closed TNT (tissue-non-tissue) bag and the waterproof paper bag had the following sizes 11,5 x 15,0 cm and the waterproof paper bag had 13,0 x 20,0 cm. The results showed that the bagging with transparent polypropylene microperfurated can be recommended because these bags allow the producers to see the color of the fruits in the harvest time and making the bagging easier.
