Abstract
Bitter pit is a physiological disorder of apples which causes considerable wastage of otherwise sound fruit .
It is a problem of world-wide occurrence and in Western Australia growing conditions appear particularly favourable for its development.
In recent years a practical means of control by calcium sprays has been developed.
