Diagnostic summary
Adverse environmental conditions can cause a range of symptoms, many of
which may resemble symptoms of diseases or pest damage. Before concluding
that a problem is due to a disease or disorder, it is important to consider
whether environmental factors may have caused the problem.
Adverse environmental conditions may include waterlogging of the soil,
extended dry conditions, cold temperatures in the field or in storage, frost
damage or lightning strike.
Symptoms include wilting, stunting or scorching of foliage, cracks
or blisters on storage roots, and texture changes or internal breakdown
of storage roots in storage.
