What are the control methods for leaf diseases of hot peppers?
The main leaf diseases of hot peppers include anthracnose, brown spot, bacterial leaf spot, and gray leaf spot. These diseases can occur alone or together, among which bacterial leaf spot is more severe, often causing early leaf drop or even complete defoliation, greatly affecting the yield and quality of hot peppers. It is currently the rainy season, and the high-temperature, high-humidity climate conditions favor the occurrence of leaf diseases in hot peppers.
Control measures:
1. Agricultural measures: After rain or irrigation, carry out timely intertillage to reduce soil moisture.
2. Use 77% Kocide at 500 times dilution (used alone) or DuPont Curzate and other fungicides for control. Where Phytophthora blight occurs, use 64% Sandofan at 500 times dilution, 40-50 kg for spraying, once every 7 days.
