"Damping-Off" In Pepper Plant Beds By George S. Wellons Damplng-off has been found In Duplin county pepper pl^nt beds during the laSt two watks. This disease is caused by a fungus which attacks young pep per seedlings, if not controlled, damplng-off can cause severe losses in the plant beds. The disease is worse on pepper seedlings and very young plants. The first indications of damp lng-off are wilting of young plants and rotten lng off at the soil line. The fungus which attacks the plants is present in almost every soil and In the air. The rate at which the di sease attacks the young plants is affected by molsutre condi tions and temperature, if the plants are actively growing, the disease is usually less severe than if the plants are under stress. Where farmers use sawdust as a mulch after the beds are seeded, the fungus may deve lop beneath the sawdust and may not be evident on the surface. Farmers can check for damp lng-off by brushing away the sawdust in a small area and looking for a grayish colored mold in the sawdust and at the surface of the soil. Damplng-off can be control led by the use of a soil drench. A drench differs from a spray in that much more water must be used. When a drench is applied, one-half gallon of water should be used per square yard. Cap tan, Ferbam or Semasan may be used. If Captan is used, two Dounds of material should be mixed with 100 gallons of water. If Ferbam la used, use one pound of material and 100 gallons of water. This should e applied at 10-day Intervals. A tilletln entitled "Pepper Di deases and Their Control" Is available at the County Agents Office In Kenansvllle.
