Fruit Pome Cracking, Causes and Solutions: A review

Abstract

Abstract Cracking fruit happens when the fruit is still developing and is a physiological condition. It lowers the fruit’s quality and marketability, which in turn causes huge economic losses and a possible reduction in production of 70%. Many factors, including heredity, physiology, and the environment, affect whether or not fruit cracks. Fruits can develop surface cracks due to uneven internal growth, which is exacerbated by unfavourable environmental factors including heavy rainfall and high temperatures. When it comes to transporting and storing fruit, the peel is crucial for its resistance to cracking.
