Sun scald from heat can lead to pathogenic infections. Sun scald can be controlled by applying more organic fertilizers, promoting vertical rooting, keeping an appropriate branch-fruit ratio and leaf-fruit ratio. These prevention measures enhance the plant's tolerance to drought and prevent the direct exposure of the fruits to the sun ...
The blossom end of the fruit is the point farthest from the roots, so it’s first to get dry and last to get water. Just like the tips and margins of leaves, that’s where you’ll see browning ...
