The physiological disorders of solanaceous vegetables and bulb root crops are abnormalities in fruit crop, bulb morphology, colour, or both, which are not caused by infectious diseases or insects. The fruit and bulb abnormalities occur as a result of environmental stress on the plant growth. Physiological disorders which may include genetic, environmental factors, nutrition and cultural practices such as watering training and pruning practices. The physiological disorders study included blossom end rot (BER), splitting, abnormal fruit shape sprouting, bolting in garlic and tip burning, thick neck, blast, sprouting, sunscald, premature bulb, bolting, splitting and watery scales, chemical injury and freezing injury in the onion.
