Bell Pepper Fungus?

Question

My bell peppers start to brown with crisp edges between the brown and green areas. In the center of the brown areas, there is a dark spot. It doesn’t look like blossom end rot, but then I haven’t ever seen blossom end rot in peppers before. What do you think this could be?

Answer 1

It could be blossom end rot. It may also be sunscald. If you have had rather intense heat lately, you may want to set up a sun shade over the pepper plants to help prevent sunscald. Increase water to the plants as well to help combat possible blossom end rot.
