Description
Soft Rot (Khamaj) symptoms on the date palm fruit stalk (rachis) are characterized by irregular dark brown to black necrotic lesions that develop along the rachis surface. The lesions are often slightly sunken and may coalesce, resulting in extensive tissue discoloration and softening. As the disease progresses, the affected tissues become necrotic, compromising the structural integrity of the fruit stalk and potentially leading to fruit deterioration.
