The critical factor in the setting of fruits is the night temperature, the optimum range being 15–20°C.
The red pigment in the fruit will develop only when the temperature is between 15°C -30°C.
Above this range of temperature, only the yellow pigment formed.
When the temperature exceeds 40°C, no pigment will be formed.
