Affected leaves display powdery white spots, which can rapidly spread to all vegetation.  This determines the lack of circulation of vital lymph in the plant, which inevitably undergoes deterioration, with leaves and branches that turn yellow and dry.  When the blight attack is late it can affect the fruits, or our beloved peppers.  These deteriorate, lose quality and often rot on the plant itself.  If the attack is serious, they are no longer edible, let alone marketable.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ezoic-autoinsert-video ezoic-mid_content\"><\/span><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-640x360-999996-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-640x360-999996-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-426x240-999996-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-426x240-999996-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-384x216-999996-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-mid_content-384x216-999996-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"penci-custom-html-inside-content\"><!-- Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph --> <!-- End Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph --><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How to prevent white sickness on chilli?<\/h2>\n<p>Preventing powdery mildew on peppers requires the adoption of some preventive agronomic measures.

This helps to reduce humidity and prevent the formation of favorable conditions for powdery mildew.  In practice, you have to pay attention to the planting layout, planting the peppers at the right distance, leaving at least 30-40 cm between one plant and another.  Among other things, this trick helps the correct growth of the seedlings, which, enjoying greater luminosity, branch out better and produce more fruit.<\/li>\n<li>Secondly, avoid excess watering and the accumulation of moisture on the leaves of the pepper.  It is better to water on the ground, avoiding wetting the leaves and fruits, therefore preferring <u>drip irrigation systems<\/u> .<\/li>\n<li>In the prevention of the disease it is also essential to regularly inspect the pepper plants to promptly identify the signs of powdery mildew, or the first white and powdery specks.  The first thing to do is remove infected leaves or affected fruit to avoid spreading the disease.  Then you can intervene with specific anti-powdery treatments, let&#8217;s see what they are.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What are the organic treatments against chilli powdery mildew?<\/h2>\n<p>Luckily there are several i <u>remedies permitted in organic farming<\/u> which can be used against snow sickness on chilli peppers.  At home, the easiest to use is the <u>sodium bicarbonate<\/u> , which, diluted in water at a dose of 10 g per 1 litre, can be sprayed on the leaves as a preventive measure.  The sodium bicarbonate on the leaf blade creates a hostile environment for the pathogenic fungus, which therefore does not take root.  It is important to carry out the treatments with bicarbonate in the evening and never with the sun.<br \/> Another very effective organic remedy against powdery mildew is the <u>potassium bicarbonate<\/u> , very well tolerated by plants as it is less aggressive than sodium bicarbonate.  Potassium bicarbonate is also used preventively with repeated treatments, or when the conditions in the environment are favorable for the onset of the disease (mild temperatures and high humidity).<br \/> For professional crops it often comes <u>used sulfur<\/u> , the most classic antioidic.  Sulfur, in powder or liquid formulations, as well as preventively, can also be used at the first signs of illness, i.e. in the presence of the first white spots, in a curative way.<br \/> If you choose powdered sulfur you must <u>use a special sulphurizer<\/u>.  Here you will find a selection of <u>sulfur products<\/u>.  For correct use, follow the instructions on the product label.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ezoic-autoinsert-video ezoic-longer_content\"><\/span><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-640x360-999994-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-640x360-999994-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-426x240-999994-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-426x240-999994-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-384x216-999994-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-384x216-999994-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"penci-ilrltpost-insert\">\n<div class=\"penci-ilrelated-posts pcilrt-list pcilrt-none pcilrt-col-2\">\n<div class=\"pcilrp-heading pcilrph-align-left\"> <span>Insights<\/span><\/div>\n<ul class=\"pcilrp-content\">\n<li class=\"pcilrp-item pcilrp-item-list\">  Sclerotinia.
