Catfacing of Solanaceous Crops
Return to Physiological and Nutrient Disorders
Catfacing can be the result of poor pollination from extremely hot or cold temperatures or severe drought conditions. Certain herbicides that contain growth regulators may also be linked to catfacing. The best management strategy is to select varieties that have shown little tendency to catface in the past.
