​

Key warning symptoms:

​

  • Brown spots

  • Mosaic

  • Deformation

  • Chlorosis

  • Mottle

  • Necrotic spots

  • Ring spots

Peppers are vulnerable to viral diseases, some of which can be acquired from or transmitted to ornamental plants growing in the same environment. The most common virus we find in peppers is PMMoV.
