Pox and Fleck


Pox and Fleck : Pox is described as small cuticular disruptions found at random on the fruit surface. The number can vary from a few to many. Fleck, also known as Gold Fleck, develops as small irregular shaped green spots at random on the surface of immature fruit, which become a gold in color as fruit ripens. Number of spots can vary from few to many.

Both conditions seem to be genetic in nature, but are difficult to breed out of a variety since the disorders only show up under certain environmental conditions.
