Improve fruit quality by understanding what causes cracking before it happens. Cracked fruits are rarely the result of a single event. In this course, you’ll learn how climate, irrigation, crop load and plant balance interact, and how a more integrated cultivation strategy helps you produce stronger, more consistent fruits. This course is also included in the Plant Empowerment Full Membership.

How to produce fewer cracked fruits
Fruit quality starts long before harvest
Many growers focus on solving cracked fruits once they appear. But in reality, the causes often originate weeks earlier. By analysing previous crop cycles and understanding how climate, irrigation and plant activity influence fruit development, you can make better decisions that improve consistency and reduce quality issues.
In this course, Plant Empowerment specialists explain how to recognise both short-term and long-term factors that contribute to fruit cracking, and how to steer your crop more proactively throughout the season.
