Spanish term

agalletada

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Agriculture
Context: El desarrollo de cannon se ha visto afectado por la aparición de mucha fruta agalletada, sin embargo por momentos se corrige y en general va avanzando, no es el caso de Phoenix en la agrícola paralelo que toda la temporada ha manifestado problemas de fruta deforme y se en tres ocasiones Evaristo a llamado para reclamar esa situación.

Later in the document, it refers to a problem with "galleta".

Se reviso el proyecto de chiles verdes en el campo de chaparral y observamos los materiales caucaso, gotzilla y coloso, el cultivo se estableció en los últimos días de octubre sin embargo hay un buen desarrollo del cultivo, el tema de las galletas es fuerte y se le sugirió quitar toda esta fruta , menciona que no lo hizo con anticipación debido a que no tiene gente lo suficientemente capacitada y hay la posibilidad que no distingan entre lo que sirve y no.

Gotzilla It is a type of tomato grown in Mexico.
neilmac Feb 27, 2012:
Only references found are in PDF so I can't copy and paste, but they refer to the unpollinated peppers which don't grow and so stay small, pointy/triangular and dry out. I haven't found a specific name for it so far.
neilmac Feb 27, 2012:
Never mind the biscuits: - I'm dying to know what "gotzilla" is (los materiales caucaso, gotzilla y coloso). Common or local names for plant diseases can be a nightmare. The only thing I can think of is that it may be a malapropism of "agrietada" and the "galletas" are actually "grietas"...

stunted

Throwing this in: Stunt = Retard the growth or development of something.
"The condition under which you planted peppers may explain why the peppers are stunted. Peppers that were planted late may be stunted because their roots were confined for too long..."

Peer comment(s):

agree James A. Walsh : "Malformed" seems to be the meaning to me.

agree Andrée Goreux : "agalletada" sounds to me "like a cookie", dried up. Fruit can be malformed but have a smooth skin, so agalletada would fit the condition, wrinkled skin due to lack of water or too much heat. Just a suggestion

agree neilmac : Well spotted, as it seems to refer to un pollinated fruits. Now all we need is to find out if it has a specific name in English.

Peer comments on this reference comment:

neutral Andrée Goreux : The fruit is withered due to lack of fertilization. Unfertilisation is the cause of the problem and withered is the result. The withered fruit are removed to avoid loss of energy and pests. This is expensive.

agree neilmac : Perhaps "stunted" would work better than "withered" if anyone thinks we really need to split hairs on this one.
