Cecil,it doesn't matter at all if it's scientific,or not, at least to me..
What I see now in your picture was mentioned above,I see splitting opening a huge fissure,that has allowed probably one or more species of fungi,or even yeast to colonize it. Lots of different bacteria,fungi,yeast,etc.in the air
Due to rain. Stop the rain,ahem,or over watering,if that's happening as well.And as the rain falls the bacteria,yeasts, etc,become trapped in raindrops that fall on your plants. If no surface wounds on the fruit,not a problem,but if any open wounds,that's the problem.
How many plants do you have out there and which varieties are showing those symptoms more often than others.?
