Rain Check


Rain Check.JPG

Rain Check : It can be described as tiny cracks that develop on the shoulder of the fruit. These cracks can vary from just a few to almost complete coverage of the shoulder. The cracks feel rough to the touch, and affected areas can take on a leathery appearance and not develop proper color as fruit ripens. Green fruits are most susceptible, followed by breakers and are not affected at all.

Damage occurs most often on exposed fruit after a rain. Exact cause is not known, but appears to be related to exposure of the fruit to water.
