A few of you may remember my "fusarium wilt" problem I posted about a few months back.
Briefly: lower leaves wilted, yellowed, fell off. This progressed slowly but steadilly up plants. Plants seemed to shed flowers excessively.I ordered MYCOSTOP which looked great....it never came. The company refunded my $ and apologized, so I won't bad mouth them. They said that they were out of it in the short term. Whatever.
I treated roughly 1/3 of my plants with some crap from a hydroponics store. The treated plants look worse than the untreated ones.
To Date:
Punjab Lal:
Not much problem, late producing.
Vietmnamese mini: Fusarium who?
Habanero::No problem
Bell peppers:
No fruit yet,look like lolipops with only leaves at at the top. Worst hit.
Jalapeno:
Decently recovered, not too much fruit production.
Super Shepherd:Late producing
Paprika::treated it.(doh!)1 pepper so far...
Purple Pequin:Looked like they would die, leaves twisted and deformed, going.....going...suddenly looking healthy and producing tons of peppers.....
The moral is that all of the peppers look like they will live untreated. All are producing fruit. Even the bells are starting new growth towards the bottom of their stems!
