Symptoms
On fruits, large, sunken, water-soaked spots develop near the distal end. The spot is soft at first, then hardens as it dries out. It eventually turns black and mold may develop. Several parts of the same fruit may be affected.
Mature fruit stays attached to the plant and ripens normally. This disorder can appear suddenly and extensively.
Reasons
Calcium deficiency
