Some 180
tomato accessions grown in Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh,
India, during 1997/98 were evaluated for various fruit physiological
disorders. Approximately 34.4 and 25.56% of the accessions exhibited
radial (cracks across the stem scar) and concentric (cracks around the
stem scar) cracks, respectively. Both radial and concentric cracks were
recorded for 13.33% of the accessions. Approximately 3.33% of the
accessions had green back (presence of green parts in mature and
ripening fruits), whereas 6.66% of the accessions showed fruit
fasciation (adherence of two fruits to each other). Puffiness (partially
filled fruits) was observed only in EC 163594 (0.56%). |
