What is the problem with Capcicum and Malir pepper plant

Post by Khalid1 »

Today i'm shocked to see that almost all my pepper plants are infected with some type of disease.
I have tried to remove all the infected leaves but there are so many of them.
Please help me.
Thanks....

Stop this practice... only water them during early morning or before 3 pm, otherwise your plants will remain moist and making the conditions ideal for fungal growth...

You can use a systemic fungicide like Alliette.. or try spraying cow milk (I never used it personally)..
