Bull's-eye Rot

Bulls-eye rot appears as concentric rings on fruit, resembling a target or bull's-eye pattern. You see brown spots develop during storage or final ripening stages. The fungal disease affects fruit quality and marketability significantly. Manage through good sanitation, proper harvesting techniques, and appropriate storage conditions.

Reduce moisture around affected tissue by improving drainage and air circulation. Remove rotted material cleanly and dispose of it away from the planting area. Avoid wounding healthy tissue during cleanup, as fresh wounds create new entry points. If the problem keeps returning, evaluate whether the site is too wet or poorly drained for the species you are growing.
