Lenticel blotchpit

Lenticel blotch pit refers to hard, asymmetric brown patches. The pits begin at the lenticels. This disorder relates closely to 'bitter pit', although bitter pit can also be found deeper in the flesh. Symptoms can increase after harvest similar to bitter pit. Because lenticel blotch pit is related to a lack of calcium in the fruit, solutions can be found in the pre-harvest stage.
