There are no stupid questions, but occasionally we see some stupid
answers. There are a lot of pepper diseases, and the best
identification guide I've seen is "Pepper Diseases: A Field Guide"
published by the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center.
Amazon.com says it's out of print, but in can be purchased from
AVRDC. I have a link to their site on my bookstore page. It took
about 3 weeks to get the book from Taiwan from the time I sent my
check but it is well worth it. It's the last book listed at:

All of the other books shown are links to Amazon.com.

Might also be over fertilizing with high nitrogen fert.
