    Question: Which of the following fruits is commonly affected by blossom-end rot disease?

    Options:

    Muskmelon
    Longmelon
    Watermelon
    Snapmelon

    ✅Explanation:
    Watermelon is a common fruit that is susceptible to blossom-end rot. This physiological disorder is caused by calcium deficiency in the fruit, often resulting from inconsistent watering or nutrient imbalances.

    • Why Watermelons are Susceptible:
    Rapid Growth: Watermelons grow quickly, outpacing calcium supply.
    Calcium Mobility: Calcium is not easily transported within the plant.
    Water Stress: Fluctuating moisture levels disrupt calcium uptake.
    High Temperatures: Increase water loss and limit calcium uptake.
    Nutrient Imbalances: Excess nitrogen favors vegetative growth over fruit development.
    Cultivar Susceptibility: Some varieties are more prone to blossom-end rot.
