I have an issue with mild to medium pepper plants in my garden. Yellow spots on the leaves have formed, and the older leaves are curling and starting to fall off. All my plants get full sun, irrigated with a drip system, and are fertilized with organic fertilizer every six weeks. My hot to superhot varieties are unaffected. Any ideas?

Have you tried Cal-Mag- +? I use it when foliar feeding Fish & Seaweed fertilizer. every 2 weeks.I have an issue with mild to medium pepper plants in my garden.

Also a good surfactant when foliar feeding.

I was torn between either magnesium, manganese, or perhaps a bacterial disease. I'd never experienced this before in previous years, but I have my peppers in a new garden plot (community garden) so perhaps there was a deficiency to begin with. I'm trying the Cal+Mag to see if it helps. Thanks for your feedback!

The pH was tested at 6.0, so I ruled that one out. The yellowing is spreading from the bottom on up. We'll see if Cal+Mag does the trick - thanks for getting back to me.
