The very small, immature pods on my poblano are falling off the plant if I
barely bump into the plant! ..not ALL of the
immature pods, just the ones that are about the size of a pea. How can I fix
this problem?  I hate to lose them because this one plant doesn't seem to
have many fruits to begin with. I never noticed any blossoms dropping, just
baby peppers.

Cut feeding high nitrogen fertilizers.

Here is a web site, on tomatoes, same effect on peppers
except chiles like even less N than tomatoes
