“…Fruit shape is dependent on ratio between diameter of fruit and height of fruit. During stage II, fruit gets transformed from globose to oblate as suggested by Kaur et al (2022b). The pressure exerted by pulp forces the rind to adjust to increase in volume due to pulp cell growth as well as albedo cell growth.…”

“…radial and transverse type and in one study, out of all the cracked fruits, 90% showed radial cracking and 105% showed transverse type of cracking. Recently, Kaur et al (2022b) studied fruit cracking in lemon cv. Punjab Baramasi and recorded different patterns of fruit cracking, viz.…”

“…In transverse cracking, fissure originated between the two ends of fruits. The various kinds of cracking that followed no set pattern were regarded as irregular (Kaur 2018). In the citrus species, three different cracking patterns are observed i.e.…”

“…Mostly fruit cracking is likely to occur shortly before maturity when high soil water ratio follows a drought period. The influx of water into pulp of fruit during stage II and III of fruit development develop pressure on developing rind and leads to initiation of cracks (Kaur et al 2022b). Thus, maintaining soil water content by avoiding its fluctuation and depletion of water from deeper soil layers reduces susceptibility to fruit cracking.…”

“…The process of fruit cracking is not sudden one, but is gradual. The process of fruit cracking has been divided into five different phases; these are designated as period of normal fruit development, critical period, initial cracking, middle stage and the later stage of fruit cracking (Kaur et al 2022b). During normal fruit development, fruit peel develops at a normal pace.…”

Fruit cracking is a serious physiological disorder that affects fruit quality and productivity. It is a pre-harvest disorder that results in poor quality of fruits; these are not marketable and cause economic losses to growers. Generally, fruit cracking occurs during the second phase of fruit growth when expanding pulp induces pressure to peel and peel becomes thinner and microcracks appear, ultimately fruit splits and drops off from tree. Several factors that contribute to fruit cracking are irregular water supply, heavy crop load, warm-humid climatic conditions, nutrient mis-management and hormonal imbalance. Cultivars having thinner peels and deficiency of Ca, K, B and P in soils are more prone to fruit cracking. This review provides the physiological and biochemical basis of fruit cracking along with recommended control measures to reduce this disorder. Foliar application of synthetic auxins, gibberellins and minerals (Ca, Zn, P and B) at different time intervals for different species to significantly reduce fruit cracking is included in this review. Further molecular studies need to be proposed to study the actual mechanism of cracking through function of genesand biotechnological approaches can be followed so that cracking resistant varieties are produced
