Abstract
Symptoms: The first symptoms appear as brown spots and are usually found on fruit that are in contact with the soil. Both green and ripe fruit are susceptible. As the lesion advances, a concentric ring pattern becomes obvious. The concentric rings may be confused with late blight; however, the late blight lesions become rough and sunken, whereas buckeye rot lesions are not sharply defined and may cover more than half of the fruit. Under moist conditions, the lesions rapidly decay and a white cottony growth will appear. There are no foliar symptoms.
