Q.Disease on Bell Peppers and Eggplant
Instead of a powdery mildew, my plants are covered with something that looks like black mildew. Can you tell me what it might be?

It is sooty mold. It is a symptom of a pest problem. I recommend neem oil to treat it. It will kill whatever pest is on the plant and treat the sooty mold. Plus, it is organic and safe. Here is more information:
