Key Points

Fruit rot in processing tomatoes results from a mixed infection of Colletotrichum species and Alternaria alternata, impacting crop yield.
Analysis shows a strong correlation between mixed infections and increased fruit rot incidence, measuring a critical increase in affected fruits.
The observational analysis employed specific pathogens to assess fruit health across multiple tomato varieties during the growing season.
These findings highlight the need for better management practices to prevent mixed infections and protect tomato crops from significant losses.
