The prevention and cure points of open-chili pepper disease
1. Seed Disinfection: Before planting, soak the seeds in warm water at 55°C for 15 to 25 minutes, or immerse them in a 72% Preclosure solution diluted 800 times for 30 to 60 minutes. Afterward, rinse thoroughly with clean water and either pre-germinate the seeds or sow them directly. This process helps eliminate pathogens and improves germination success. 2. Crop Rotation: Avoid continuous cultivation of peppers. Instead, rotate with non-solanaceous crops such as cruciferous vegetables, legumes, or cucurbits for a period of three years. This practice helps reduce the buildup of soil-borne pathogens and improves overall soil health. 3. Proper Irrigation: Water your crops during sunny mornings or evenings, following the principle of frequent but small amounts. Avoid flooding the fields, as excessive moisture can promote disease development. In case of prolonged rain, ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can damage plant roots and increase disease risk. 4. Raised Bed (Sorghum) Cultivation: Use raised beds or high mulch film to improve soil aeration and drainage. This method promotes faster seedling growth, strengthens the root system, and enhances the plant's resistance to diseases. It also makes irrigation easier and prevents root rot by avoiding water accumulation around the base of the plants. 5. Removal of Diseased Plants: Regularly inspect your fields for signs of disease. As soon as infected plants are detected, remove and destroy them immediately—either by burning or burying them deep away from the field. Apply lime powder around the affected areas to disinfect the soil and reduce the presence of harmful bacteria. 6. Chemical Control: Before the onset of the hot and rainy season, apply a 1:1:200 Bordeaux mixture or 70% Dukessone wettable powder diluted 600 times. Spray every 10 to 13 days to prevent disease outbreaks. Once the rainy season begins, monitor closely and apply preventive treatments early if symptoms appear. Use products such as 58% metalaxyl-Mn Zn diluted 400 times, 40% EB aluminum WP diluted 300 times, or 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder diluted 500 times. Apply these sprays to both leaves and stems, especially on sorghum crops, to effectively manage disease spread.
