sunscald

Sunscald often begins on green fruit on the side facing the sun.

The infestation begins in lower cut branches or the main trunk, especially in areas with sunscald injury.

Light is essential for sunscald induction in cucumber and pepper fruits, whereas heat conditioning provides protection.

The crop is also vulnerable to sunscald, so remove the heads to a shady spot.

That is, they are protected from drying winds, extreme changes in temperature and sunscald. However, field and meadow mice may be actively feeding on the tender nutritious bark of selected plants.

This helps shade ripening tomatoes and can prevent sunscald.

Trees can be damaged by sunscald and frost cracks, where abrupt transitions from sun-soaked warmth to cold, or the reverse, can crack or kill sections of bark and open pathways for insects, fungi and other harmful invaders.

A dry soil may cause premature leaf drop on gooseberries causing the fruit to sunscald due to lack of shading.

Burhans prefaces his lively account of the chip's invention (dated to 1853 in Saratoga Springs, NY) with a consideration of the never-guaranteed perfect potato; ring rot, sunscald, vascular browning, late blight, and tuber rot are among "can't use" conditions.

Fluctuations can cause blossom-end rot--dark, leathery spots on the end of the fruit (sunscald looks similar, but spots are tan and papery).

Sunscald is a special type of temperature-related injury.

We tested the hypothesis that light-coloured bark minimizes the thawing and freezing of cambium tissue during winter that could contribute to sunscald injury.
