Rhizopus rot

Rhizopus rot
    Causal Organism: Rhizopus nigricans Ehrenb.
    Symptoms
    Round to irregular, light brown and water-soaked lesions appear on the fruits.
    These lesions enlarge and engulf the entire fruit. When diseased fruits are stored in moist chambers, white sporangiophores with black sporangia are found on the surface.
    Typical symptoms of soft, watery rot are also observed. Diseased fruits become unattractive and unfit for consumption.
