Chili - Necrosis

Symptoms
Older leaves shows interveinal chlorosis and subsequent necrotic blotches. A diffuse dark/purple mottling between the leaf veins and along the leaf margin may also be observed. Some necrotic, sunken spots occur within the affected tissue. Older leaves fall off prematurely. Plant growth, flowering and fruiting are severely stunted.

Reasons
Phosphorus deficiency. The highest demand for P occurs in early growth stages.

Phosphorus deficiency made worse by

  • Acidic or very alkaline (calcareaus) soils
  • Low organic matter
  • Cold or wet conditions
  • Crops with a poorly developed root system
  • Soils with low P reserves
  • Soils with a high phosphate capacity
  • Iron rich soils

Phosphorus is important for

  • Ensuring good start and continued growth for high yield
  • Increases fruit set, fruit development and early maturity
