Superficial white powdery talcum-like fungal coating covering upper leaf surfaces, buds, and young stems; leaves turn yellow and curl.
Warm, dry weather combined with shade and high relative humidity at night.
Plant in full direct sunlight; avoid high nitrogen fertilizer over-application which stimulates susceptible lush growth.
Concentric brown to black target-like rings on older lower leaves. Surrounding tissue turns chlorotic yellow, leading to premature leaf drop.

Crop rotation with non-solanaceous crops for 3 years; mulch around base to prevent soil splash; maintain proper plant spacing.
Characteristic purple or reddish-purple coloring on undersides and sometimes upper surfaces of leaves due to anthocyanin accumulation. Stunted growth, delayed maturity, and poor root development. Dark green dull coloration of older leaves before purpling.
Low soil phosphorus levels, cold soil temperatures (phosphorus uptake stops below 10 degrees C), acidic soils (pH < 5) or very alkaline soils (pH > 8) where phosphorus is fixed and unavailable, and compacted soils limiting root growth.
Apply rock phosphate or single super phosphate (SSP) as basal dose before planting; maintain soil pH 6.0-7.0 for optimal phosphorus availability; deep tillage to improve root penetration.
