Ms. Cao Thi Diep said: Bitter melons during flowering and fruiting are very susceptible to insect bites, so wrapping the fruit in a plastic bottle is the optimal way to protect it, without having to use pesticides. According to Ms. Diep, thanks to this method, not only bitter melons, but also other fruits and vegetables grown and protected by her in a safe way for consumers can be sold at a higher price than the usual growing method.
