  • A.Boron
  • B.Iron
  • C.Calcium
  • D.Copper

Answer: A

Fruit cracking in pomegranate is due to deficiency of Boron.

Fruit cracking is a serious disorder of pomegranate, especially in dry areas. It is linked to boron deficiency, which weakens the cell walls of the rind, together with sudden changes in soil moisture, such as heavy irrigation or rain after a dry spell. It is controlled by spraying borax and by regular, even irrigation.

Calcium also affects rind strength, but boron is the deficiency the standard recommendations name. Iron and copper deficiencies cause other symptoms, such as yellowing of leaves.
