Curling of leaves ...



double click picture for detail


I have a row of yellow and red Bell peppers and I noticed yesterday that the leaves are curling up. I checked for bugs and didn't see anything. As noted in the photos, there are splotches on leaves if that gives anyone an idea.

If someone can get us some quick remedy it would be greatly appreciated as we are leaving tomorrow evening to hopefully see the shuttle launch on Saturday and be gone all next week ... Don't mind a call if you don't mind. You know the area code 586-2182 ..


Charles and Pam failed to actually publish until afternoon ... sorry thanks anyway

I noticed this with some of mine yesterday. I checked for spider mites and didn't see any. Hmmm.

The symptoms displayed in the photos can be caused by many factors, one of the common ones for the curling leaves is thrips feeding in the bud stage. The small holes are likely worm or beetle feeding. Plant growth does not appear vigorous. Plants look water stressed.
