Catface
Catface is a condition involving malformation and scarring of fruits, particularly at blossom ends. Affected fruits are puckered with swollen protuberances and can have cavities extending deep into the flesh. Generally, any disturbance to flowers can lead to abnormally shaped fruits. Extreme heat, drought, low temperature, and contact with hormone-type herbicide sprays may cause flower injury.
Control: Other than keeping herbicides away from flowers, the only control for catface is planting less susceptible tomato varieties.
