Black mould rot
Aspergillus niger v. Tieghem. The affected fruits show yellowing of base and development of irregular, hazy, grayish which coalesce into dark brown or black lesions. The mesocarp of the rotted area becomes depressed and soft. The stalk and infection results in premature fruit drop. A fruit dip treatment with benomyl 155ppm can control the rot.
