Pests, Diseases & DisordersHow can I recognize sap burn on freshly harvested mangoes?
Suspect sap injury when staining follows a visible sap trail or develops where freshly cut stalks contacted the skin. Compare handled fruit with fruit collected carefully from the same tree, and photograph the marks before they age. Expanding soft lesions or internal decay require a broader diagnosis. In a harvest crew, observing the picking and de-sapping sequence often reveals more than inspecting the finished carton alone.
