This is downy mildew disease. You need good fungicide to treat them. I don't know if you have been using any before, also insecticides.

Thanks for your respond
A since I discovered it, I have been spraying chemical on it. I use dominator twice but because of the fruit, I stop it and am currently using imi force.
Although, I use caterpillar force, A star insecticide and rabbit urine to spray it before

Spray fungicide

Hdpe pipes are best for irrigation farming.

PVC pipes are simply not cost effective at all. Better use Hdpe pipes which come in 100 meters roll. PVC comes in 6 meters, very tedious & time consuming connecting them especially on a big farm.

Hdpe pipes are actually cheaper than PVC. A big misconception out there is that they are costly. Their fittings are slightly expensive but this evens out if you factor in the cost of connecting 6m PVC pipes with glue to lay in the farm.

HDPE is more durable than PVC and even more hardy.

HDPE is super quick and easy to install. PVC is NOT!

Think of it as a the race between the turtle and the hare. Darina fruits faster and has bigger fruits which will stress the plant more and it also has zero Dm resistance. But Greengo takes longer, develops its roots and stem longer, has smaller fruits that the plant can easily support and a far better disease resistance which means a far longer harvest period. Handle DM, feed well and you can harvest Greengo 9/10 times (speaking from experience).

Darina f1

Hello OP. Please I would like to try out the super habanero f2. Seeds though I haven't planted the F1 before. But would love to try out the f2 seeds due to financial constraints..I would be glad if you can refer me to any farmer you know that is harvesting their F1 super habanero. So I can buy some fruits for seeds extraction. Thanks boss

Not advisable. You can try other affordable variety like the piquante red f1 from east west seed or even the Caribbean hot red pepper.

OP, how true is this submission from ur experience sir

Nice. Some are ready for harvest

Lol... You're funny. Someone who has experience with both and great results is telling you facts and you're asking how true? 😂

Plant both for yourself and see.

Aphids transmit it too. Weed your farm and use plastic mulch if possible to reduce their population

bull eyes

Can plastic mulch be used without drip irrigation?
