Fruit drop refers to the detachment of fruit from a tree or plant, caused by the formation of a separation layer of cells on the fruit stalk due to physiological or biochemical events. It can be categorized into three main periods: post bloom drops, June drops, and pre-harvest drops, with some fruits experiencing additional periods such as summer drop and summer fall drop. Post bloom drops occur shortly after flowering due to inadequate pollination, water or temperature stress, and hormonal imbalances, with gibberellic spray as a potential solution.

Pre-harvest drops occur after fruits
