Blotchy ripening

The fruits have parts that are discolored or not ripening normally. It is caused by uneven watering or application of nutrients. It is solved by giving more attention to shading, ventilation, watering and nutrients.

Irregular yellow blotches on the green tomatoes with the interior having pits or browning are caused by several factors. Tomatoes ripen poorly if the temperature falls below 60 degrees F. Compacted and overly wet soil inhibits root growth and impacts ripening. Potassium deficiency can inhibit ripening. Tobacco mosaic virus may cause browning of the interior or the foliage may have blotches of yellow.
