Stem end rot : It attacks the fruits. Epicarp turns dark around the base of the pedicel in the initial stage. Subsequently the affected area enlarges to form a circular black patch which extends rapidly under humid atmosphere and turns the whole fruit completely black within two or three days. The pulp of the diseased fruits becomes brown and somewhat soft. Careful harvesting and subsequent handling of the fruits to avoid any injury is very important.
