Symptoms:
Gray mold is most common when flowering
occurs during a cool period of high humidity.
Crowded plants with a dense canopy of leaves also
encourage gray mold. Infection begins in the flower
and spreads to the pod.
Solutions:
Thin seedlings so that breezes can dry
leaves. Avoid over watering and over fertilizing with
nitrogen. Apply a copper soap fungicide as soon as
flower buds can be seen, and continue applications as
long as plants are flowering. We recommend Soap-
Shield® Flowable Liquid Copper Fungicide.
