Hello Pradeep Kommi Looks like that your papaya fruits have some kind of sucking pest damage, i wonder if it could be associated with Mealybug. Sucked stalks of fruits normally are prone to falling off to ground because of low vitality and water deficiency at the joint. Rotting by fungus like Downy Mildew at the joint accelerates the process of weakening stalk with the stem. So, ca, k, fertilisers, Mancozeb and highly contact poison are important according to me. Pls take care accordingly and consider the environment 😊
