Pests and diseases (4)
Problems recorded for this plant, most serious first.
Waterlogging Root Decay
MajorDisorder
The plant wilts even though the soil never dries, and the lower leaves yellow. Pull it up and the roots have turned brown to black with a distinctive rotten smell.
Etiolation
MajorDisorder
Internodes stretch long, stems are thin and leaf color is pale. The plant topples easily and becomes vulnerable to pests and disease.
Scale Insects
CommonPest
Small white or brown shell-like insects dot the shoots and leaves. The plant loses vigor and honeydew-fed sooty mold blackens the shoots and foliage.
Sunscald
CommonDisorder
The sun-facing side of the fruit bleaches white to pale yellow, then dries into a sunken leathery patch. Rot organisms enter easily through the damaged tissue.
