Internal rot of capsicums and chillies is a major issue for Australian growers. The Hort Innovation-funded project, Internal fruit rot of capsicum (VG17012) is focused on identifying the organism(s) that cause internal rot.

Management techniques will be developed to prevent infection as well as minimise the risk of sending unacceptable fruit to market.

In this one-hour webinar, Dr Jenny Ekman and Dr Len Tesoriero discuss the project results so far. These include identification of the different fungi cultured from infected fruit, how they vary between growing regions and factors that potentially increase the likelihood of infection.
