Internal rot of capsicums and chillies is a major ongoing issue for Australian growers, typically those in warm, humid growing areas.
It affects both field and greenhouse grown fruit, especially if humidity is not well controlled.
In order to determine what main organisms are responsible for this disease in Australia, a project funded by Hort Innovation and led by Applied Horticulture Research (AHR) aims to develop effective control measures.
To help achieve this, the project is calling for growers to send samples of affected capsicum and chillies to researchers.
Find out how to send in samples here.
