If Your Pepper Fruits Look Like This, Here’s What You Must Do by Zalax3011(op): 6:00pm On Mar 29, 2025
Pepper farmers if you notice this at your Pepper fruits, the primary issues is Blossom End Rot (BER) and can also be Anthracnose.

Blossom End Rot of Pepper is mostly caused by Calcium deficiency often due to irregular watering of your plants or nutrient imbalance in the soil.

One of the best way of controlling Blossom End Rot is by adding calcium to the soil like Calcium nitrates or using foliar fertilizers high in calcium.

Avoid applying excessive nitrogen fertilizer to the plant like Urea they can limit the plant's calcium intakes.

Also, Anthracnose is mostly caused by high humidity, poor air circulation in the farm and infected plant debris.

Once you spot any plant with this disease remove and destroy the infected fruits to prevent further spread.

Apply copper based Fungicides to the plant's also keep your plants spaced properly. If your Pepper plant's are over growing you can prune the excessive foliage.

Also practice Crop rotation to prevent reinfection next planting season.
