White mold on pepper plants
Hey everyone!
So I've got a white mold problem on my pepper plant and while I've been attempting to treat it with fungicide it doesn't seem to be helping much (half of the leaves fell last night). The peppers on the plant could be harvested now, but will they be okay to eat? None look like the mold has gotten to them yet. Also, would it be a good idea to cut back the plant? I can show pics if it helps! Thank you! :)

You have to read the instructions on the fungicide you used. they will have a time that you have to wait before you can harvest. could be from day of application to 2 weeks+. I'm guessing you're having powdery mildew problem? From the little research I've done consumption of powdery mildew may trigger a bad allergic reaction in certain people and generally isn't recommended. just be sure to really wash your peppers and consume at you own discretion. Personally if the mildew isn't on my fruit ill give it a good wash and eat it. I recommend using the fungicide serenade and mixing it with wormtea. I've had great results with that. GL!
