Avocado disorder and diseases

Chilling injury

Symptoms of chilling injury for avocado include irregular coloration (dark patches), a bit sunken in the skin. The flesh will show problems like flesh greying, vascular browning and pulp spot. This disorder is caused by storage below minimum temperature. Sensitivity and severity of damage depends on the duration and depth of the temperature. Adapting fruit progressively to low temperatures might reduce chilling injury sensitivity
