Superficial Scald in Apples: Strategies and Solutions
What is superficial scald in apple fruits and what causes it? Physiological disorders correspond to abnormalities that can occur in any of the apple tissues, and can result in loss of quality, marketability, and profitability, leading to increased loss and wastage of apples. These disorders are caused by abiotic factors such as genotype/genetic background, maturity at harvest, orchard/preharvest factors, seasonal variations, and postharvest storage conditions. It is important to mention that pathogens or mechanical damage do not lead to physiological disorders.

Causes and Prevention of Chilling Injury in Honeycrisp Apples
Chilling injury in Honeycrisp apples is expressed in two main formats: soft scald and soggy breakdown, both of which lead to a loss of quality, marketability, and profitability, and therefore an increase in fruit loss and waste. Soft Scald symptoms are characterized by a light-dark brown soft sunken discoloration patch on the apple skin (Fig. 1).

Water core in apples: what is it, what causes it and how can it be controlled?
Water core in apples: what is it, what causes it and how can it be controlled? Water core (Fig. 1) is one of the many physiological disorders affecting apples. Physiological disorders are abnormalities in the various apple tissues that result in loss of quality, loss of marketability and increased loss of fruit that is discarded and not consumed. These disorders are caused neither by fungi, insects or viruses, nor by mechanical damage. The incidence of water core can vary from year to year. Not all apple varieties are affected equally, some of the most susceptible being Cox's Orange Pippin, Delicious, Fuji, Braeburn, Jonathan, Stayman, Starkrimson, although it can also be detected in Golden Delicious, Granny Smith and McInstosh, among others.
