Working on a bag of apples in Tsuruta Town, Aomori July 20 7:20
In Tsuruta Town, Aomori Prefecture, where apples are cultivated actively, the work of putting bags on the apples is being continued in order to protect from pests and other diseases.
An apple farmer, Hideaki Shibuya, has an area of about 50 are, and the work of putting a bag of apples into the bag started at the end of last month.
Starting early in the morning on the 19th, I went out to a farm where about 100 apple trees were planted and worked carefully, and carefully sacked each apple that grew to a diameter of about 5 cm.
According to Mr. Shibuya, Koshino apples are in normal growth condition, and so far there is no concern about illness, but by not only protecting them from pests by bagging, they can be stored for a long time after harvesting. That is.
Mr. Shibuya said, "The work of putting on the bag is a little late compared to the usual year, but I want to carefully grow it so that delicious apples can be delivered to consumers."
The process of putting bags on the apples continues until the end of this month. This means that the bags will be removed around September and the fruits will be colored well, and then they will be harvested from around November.
