Its been about two month after transplanting, in fact its beginning to bear it first set of fruits.it definitely doesn't have anything to do with transplanting
well I had this issue few days or a week after transplant ... you can also Google search on what may have caused this

did you treat for nematodes? there are other soil borne diseases that couldve caused this

What I'm seeing on google correlates to bacterium,fusarim,verticullum wilt..Nome of those sound goods as they are only preventable not curable

most soil borne diseases can only be prevented,.. curing it is out of the question.. I cannot help but feel like I've seen what you're experiencing on your pepper farm on someone else's tomatoes farm.. and I believe Nematicide could've done the job

Good day,I went to farm today and noticed that some of my plant are wilting,and some have already died due to wilting,I didn't see any sign of insects and the root looked healthy when I uprooted it.I am presently using rain hose irrigation.I would like your opinion on how to avoid it ,or stop this thing although it only affected my rodo pepper not my chilli
.
It is probably a soil-borne disease. It affected mine too, though not much. I just uproot them and dispose outside the farm. When they dry, I burn them up. This can minimize spreading.

Do u mean that drip was not good BC of high temperature?

i wouldn't say it's bad.. but I'm just wondering why spray tubes when drip is more affordable and plants like pepper, tomatoes etc to like their leaves getting wet

jidestroud:

Did you nurse them with tomato seeds?

Oh I see, seeds were gotten from open-source. Reason for the few tomato seeds.
Understandable.

Yea bro. As I stated they are opv from Benue and Benin republic that is why few tomatoe are there.
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by veggieman2be(m): 12:02am On Mar 10, 2020
Psalmy2cute:

this looks like local opv, I may be wrong.. I dont believe anyone who planted hybrid will leave it open.. this is how local farmers in my area do their nursery... though it's quite economical.. and it leads to healthy competition btw plants.. Goodwork

Yes bro is opv. Which improved local or hybrid can I use during the raining season because I heard hybrid don't survive the rain, how true is that

"oblong" that's exactly it.. wheres your location?? I know someone you can purchase this nursery pepper plant
Re: 30k Twice A Week From My Pepper Farm by veggieman2be(m): 12:57pm On Mar 10, 2020
The Cotonue man that gave me the seeds told me he lost all his seedlings that they all dried up about 4 different nurseryg beds also the roots have something like balls entangled he said if you transplant such pepper with that kind of root that it will never do well.

My questions are

1. What are the causes because they don't know the cause but when he visited my site he was wowed by the germination and disease free seedlings.

2. Can fungicide be applied on nursery bed

balls on the root? that's nematodes.. the soil was infected and they should have used Nematicide on the soil before making the nursery bed.. or even still, sterilising the soil would have done the work

How much is Nematicide and how do I apply or use it on the soil before broadcasting.

Thanks

Am not talking about the seedlings, but the seeds pls i need it badly, I have bn searching to purchase it. All markets here really crave for the Cotonou variety. Though the fruits are smaller than avenir and co, they assume all big fruits are not peppery

The popular one is furadan. Its sold less than 1.5k per kg. Its tiny granules like ewedu seeds.
When you finished dressing your bed, broadcast it same way u broadcast ewedu seed. Slightly incorporate it in by using rake, then wet it after or before applying your seed.

you don't have to look further this is how Cameron variety looks like,it's smaller than avenir ,spicier and easy to get instead than avenir,the pic below is two nurserys we did same time on 50 gram avenir and other 20 gram Cameron pepper,after more than two weeks no single avenir germinated,zero germination,but the Cameron pepper has 85% germination,I think the results is there for everyone to see.

my brother I don't know what is wrong,almost going to 2 weeks now not even 1 seed germinated, this is so frustrating,I guess the avenir seed is now Russian roulette,so batch germinates ,some don't.
