Discolorations appearing on the skin or flesh of the fruit are a common visual indicator of underlying issues. These blemishes can range in size, color intensity, and texture, sometimes affecting only the surface and other times penetrating deeper into the edible portion. The presence of these marks may detract from the aesthetic appeal of the fruit.
Identifying the cause of these marks is crucial for preventing further occurrences and minimizing potential losses in fruit production. Understanding the etiology, whether it’s related to environmental factors, pest infestations, or physiological disorders, can inform effective management strategies. Addressing this issue contributes to maintaining the quality and marketability of the harvested product.
