Water has a PH of 8.3, temp between 20-30 and NPK and nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation were applies at regular periods.
Nearly all the planted area, and it occurred in the previous year. Only this area was planted, and no farmers were around.
Thank you indeed, l think there is no viral infection but nutrients imbalance as you mentioned.
Interesting photograph having a mixture of problems, the crop does not have uniformity in fruit shape size, it seems it was mixture of seeds or segregating population has been grown.
1. One fruit is having green shoulder, it is varietal character.
2. Another one has insect infestation, thus colour development is hindered and lost its uniform maturity
3. Few of fruits, it looks were drop at young stage from plants which does not have physiological maturity thus ripening is irregular.
4. Fruits also dropped due to sunscald as is visible as shining at top of one fruit.
Hello, did you get any results of the analysis or did you find out what it is? In Croatia, the same problem occasionally occurs
No analysis was made, these symptoms may be due to complex nutritional imbalance and high pH 8.1
It's some kind of virus on tomato and pepper, In the greenhouse
where it was photographed, TSVW and CMV were found, mix of viruses amoung all
Did you test the two viruses to be sure of that?
There is a kit to test the virus.
We did not actually test, but those two viruses are very common here, regular, official institutions in the field did not detect a new virus, we assume that it is a strong attack of a mix of these two, because one part in that greenhouse had typical symptoms of TSWV, and the other part had typical symptoms of CMV, this is something in between
