Can anyone help to explain the control measures of fruit sour disease in Fig ?.
As this disease is persisting in fig tree from many years, every times new fruits comes it seems to be normal but on ripening it starts rotting from inside. Small vinegar flies can be seen inside the fruit.
This problem is repeating every year, resulting all fruits to become rotten on ripening.
I have some pics of infected fruits with gall on leaves as well. Hope these pics explained best the situation

Hi Ravi: The beetles is the most insects that transport the infection vinegar yeast & bacteria to the fruit, so control the insect and also the fruit with open eye is more susceptible

Basic studies are needed to find out exact reason. Few publication have mention that Vinegar flies and dried fruit beetle cause it. It is just a secondary infection for causing fermentation of fruits.
