Cavity Spot

Cavity spot is characterized by small, sunken, elliptical to irregularly shapedlesionson the surface of carrot taproots. Individual lesions are usually less than 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) in diameter, but can be much larger, especially on processing varieties. Infections occur anywhere along the taproot, but lesions tend to be more abundant on the upper third of the root. Lesions become dark and increase in size as carrot roots mature.
