Message: [QUOTE="ReslerMomma, post: 112610, member: 4817"] Good afternoon! If anyone has experience with southern blight, I need to pick your brain. We have had several corbaci pepper plants die of what my research has lead me to believe is southern blight (Sclerotium rolfsii ). I would love to know the following: Is the fruit from plants killed by southern blight safe to eat? The peppers seem healthy from the outside. Has anyone had any success with solarization (or, my husbands idea- a propane torch weeder) to kill the fungus in the soil? Also any good winter cover crops that aren't susceptible to southern blight? I would hate to inadvertently feed this nasty fungus all winter. Thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
