My bad; I thought that the photo I was referring to was of a stem, not a chilli. I hope that someone here can eventually id the virus; I'd be interested to know what it is too.

it was a stem, it was the stem of the chili fruit rather than that of the main plant.

Man this is killing me.

You're damn right. I also had a bike accident a week and a half ago from which I had to go to hospital in an ambulance for. It's following me around I tell you. Someone has placed some bad juu-juu on me.

Condolences. I hope you get it figured out and stopped. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me.

Best of luck to you buggedcom.

Cheers. I may take a snipping to a tree surgeon friend of mind. He may know something?

 

[Nova]

I hope so, that really sucks.

Yeah, just plain aspirin/ASA/acetylsalicylic acid. It shouldn't take much. Just a couple in a liter. ASA is a hormone to many/most plants that signals to the plant it is being invaded.

Maybe put some fly paper out, too?

Also, as you try to salvage the plants, I can't emphasize enough cleaning with bleach whatever it is you're cutting them with between cuts to reduce the chance of spreading it to the cut area.

I'm going to give that a try also. If I can't solve this I am going to be royally annoyed

ok I've talked to a tree surgeon of mine and he seems to think it may be fly lave eating away at the roots. I will take apart one of the worst affected tomorrow. and post some pics of their post mottem. gruesome i know but let's put it this way, if you eat meat, you should really see the animals bowels before you eat sausages.
