Applied Horticultural Research (AHR) is leading a new Hort Innovation-funded project aimed at developing effective control measures for internal rot of capsicums.
The disease affects seeds inside the fruit and fruit appears normal from the outside. The disease is a major cause of customer complaints and rejections of capsicums in Australia.
The project team is currently calling for samples of affected capsicums and chillies in order to determine the causal agent(s) in Australia and to develop effective control measures.
