If the first fruitlet is taken from the north side of a tree, choose the next fruitlet from the east, then south and so on.

Heavy D. citri populations can cause blossom and fruitlet drop.
|
|
Formation of phloem and early xylem was directly related to fruitlet size.
|
|
However there were significant treatment differences on fruitlet abscission and accordingly, on fruit yield.
|
|
Moreover, physiological disturbances during early embryo development lead to seed abortion and fruitlet abscission.
|
|
As the number of king blossoms decreases, so will the average diameter of the fruitlet decrease.
|
|
Carbohydrate and ethylene levels regulate citrus fruitlet drop through the abscission zone A during early development.
|
|
Extensive feeding can also result in flower and fruitlet abortion, which is a direct yield loss.
|
|
Delay of early fruitlet abscision by Branco girdling in Citrus coincides with previous increases in carbohydrate and gibberelin concentrations.
|
|
Do not worry about fruitlet size so much as applying the thinning spray when weather conditions are good, as discussed above.
|
|
In the bagged experiment, fruitlet formation was never observed, suggesting that no agamospermy takes place, and that pollination is critical for fruit set.
|
|
Black spots initiated from the seed became apparent on some of the fruits at the beginning of June, and about two weeks later an intensive abscission of fruitlet begun that ended at the beginning of July.

Fruitlet core rot (FCR) is the disease of a pineapple fruit, from the pathogen Penicillium funiculosum that is brown or black in color and rotted in the center.Ploetz, Randy C. “Diseases of Tropical Fruit Crops.” Diseases of Tropical Fruit Crops, CABI Pub., 2003, pp. 446–447.

They are epigynous, with the ovary inferior (lying below the attachment of the other flower parts). After three months, the flower heads develop into a fleshy globular multiple fruit (syncarp) joined by their calyces (each flower becoming a fruitlet containing one seed). They are around in diameter, about the size of a golf ball. The fruit is rugose (wrinkled), brown, and strongly aromatic.

Fruitlet of Ponderosa lemon Ponderosa lemon is not widely grown commercially, but it is commonly grown as an ornamental plant. In areas where the winter's cold may damage the plant, they are grown in containers. In such cases they are usually grafted to dwarf rootstocks to help maintain a smaller, more manageable size. The impressive sized fruits may be left on the tree for many months after they've ripened without a drop in the fruits' quality.

Pineapples are subject to a variety of diseases, the most serious of which is wilt disease vectored by mealybugs typically found on the surface of pineapples, but possibly in the closed blossom cups. Other diseases include citrus pink disease, bacterial heart rot, anthracnose, fungal heart rot, root rot, black rot, butt rot, fruitlet core rot, and yellow spot virus.Pests and Diseases of Pineapple: Food Market Exchange – B2B e-marketplace for the food industry .

The acidity can propagate the brown coloring that appears on the fruit. Pineapple plants are treated with ethylene to promote flowering, a practice called forcing. The prime time for optimal conditions are up to 5–6 weeks after forcing until 10–15 weeks after forcing for the pathogen to fully infect the fruit. Pineapples are susceptible to pathogen entry in the time after the forcing procedure because the fruitlet forms from various parts of the plant joining together.

P. funiculosum is found both in the soil and on crop residue. Conidia are the infectious agent and require simple carbohydrates, which they obtain as metabolic products from the pineapple, a temperature between 16-21 °C, and a pH of 3.5 to develop. Additionally, the presence and amount of ascorbic acid present in the soil can influence presentation and progression of Pineapple Fruit Rot.Marie, F., et al. “On Farm Approach Of Pineapple Fruitlet Core Rot Disease In Martinique.”Acta Horticulturae, no.

One fossil fruitlet of †Potentilla pliocenica has been described from a middle Miocene stratum of the Fasterholt area near Silkeborg in Central Jutland, Denmark.Angiosperm Fruits and Seeds from the Middle Miocene of Jutland (Denmark) by Else Marie Friis, The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters 24:3, 1985 Four fossil fruits of †Potentilla pliocenica have been extracted from bore hole samples of the Middle Miocene fresh water deposits in Nowy Sacz Basin, West Carpathians, Poland.Łańcucka-Środoniowa M.: Macroscopic plant remains from the freshwater Miocene of the Nowy Sącz Basin (West Carpathians, Poland) [Szczątki makroskopowe roślin z miocenu słodkowodnego Kotliny Sądeckiej (Karpaty Zachodnie, Polska)].
