Symptoms and Control measures.

Zippering


Zippering : It is described as a fruit having thin scars that extend partially or fully from the stem scar area to the blossom end. The longitudinal scar has small transverse scars along it. At times there may be open holes in the locules in addition to the zipper scar. Usually an anther that is attached to the newly forming fruit causes the zipper scar.

Control: The only control is to select varieties that are not prone to zippering.
