Pests, Diseases & DisordersHow should I investigate mango fruit cracking before harvest?
Record when cracks first appear, whether they begin around a lesion or wound, and whether the problem follows a weather change. Cut affected fruit to examine the tissue beneath the split and compare several fruit at the same stage. A crack can be both an injury and an opening for later decay. Treating the organisms that arrive afterward may not address the event that caused the original split.
