To prevent and treat Phytophthora Capsici root rot, first of all, pepper growers need to understand clearly: This disease is caused by a fungus in the soil, which is caused by waterlogged soil, lack of good drainage, irrigation, and too much or too little rain.

Prevent method:

  • Make a hole under each pepper to drain water when it rains or has a lot of water.
  • Amend waterlogged soil to drain well.
  • Set up a proper irrigation system according to the water needs of each pepper plant, both in the dry and rainy seasons, not too much, not too little (unfruited pepper 5-7 liters/day | fruited pepper 8-10 liters/day), especially watering the root zone of the pepper.
  • Growers need to apply Cam-Protek (Systemic Fertilizer) 5 to 6 times a year. Applying once a month during the rainy season when there is regular rain is good.

Treatment method:

  • Take 1 package of Cam-Protek fertilizer + 1 kg of Trichodema,
    mix with 200 liters of water and pour approximately 2 liters per pepper bush.
  • Spray Cam-MAP fertilizer 7 days later, spray Cam-Protek fertilizer 7 days later, spray Cam-Poly-Feed 21 fertilizer
  • Cover the support with Cam-UreaCote 1 kg/bush plus 3-5 kg ​​of cow dung.
    Peppers generally appear to be severely deficient in nitrogen (N) when this disease occurs.

Note:

Treatment depends on many factors, depending on each region, and this disease can easily adapt to the same type of medication, so the following 5 types of medication must be used alternately to be effective, but the use of fertilizer remains the same:

  1. Trichoderma Harzianum
  2. Cooper + Fosetyl Aluminum + Metalaxyl
  3. Phosphorous Acid
  4. Metalaxyl + Mancozeb
  5. Fosetyl Aluminum + Mancozeb
