Hi!! Thanks for visiting the plantix community!! A disorder where fruit surface cracks mainly due to heavy irrigation or rain after long dry spell. This may occur due to varietal characters, orchard soil management, inappropriate levels of water at maturity stage, light, temperature and micro-nutrient deficiency (calcium deficiency).

Hi ! ch.mouloud586 Greetings from India!!! Orange rinds split open seasonally and is primarily the result of inappropriate plant care, also temperature fluctuations and humidity. The size of a split varies. It may be slim and short or expose the pulp inside the fruit. Naval orange is most prone to this problem. Fruit split open more, likely because of the thickness of the rind and the large stylar, or navel. The green fruit is usually the splitting citrus fruit. Oranges splitting, or any other citrus fruit, are a result of faulty cultural activities. Irrigation problems may contribute where the tree gets too much water. In winter, the tree only needs 1/8 to 1/4 inch of rain per week. In March to June, this increases to ½ inch and during the warm season, the tree requires 1 inch of water per week. Over fertilizing will also cause the problem. The nutrient needs of oranges should be 1 to 2 pounds of nitrogen annually. You should break up the application into three or four periods. This will prevent too much food, which will make orange rinds split open and possibly crack. Tree stress is thought to be another cause of splitting citrus fruit. Hot, dry winds desiccate the tree and dry the plant. Then it takes moisture from the fruit, which shrivel. As soon as water is available, it goes to the fruit, which then swell too much. Young plants with small root systems are most susceptible because they do not have a wide enough root area in which to gather moisture. Please check the aforesaid reasons and take remedial measures your problem will be resolved. Thanks for visiting Plantix community
