During initial stages of infection, light green to bright-yellow blotches appear on upper surfaces of leaves. These areas later turn necrotic. Infected leaves curl upward, and a powdery, white growth is visible on the underside of leaves. When there are many “sores” they often join together and the result is what you see on your plant – general chlorosis and leaf drop. The disease travels from old to new leaves. Treat with any product containing Bacillis subtilis (organic) or Daconil (synthetic).
You also have Chilli Thrips. They are small cigatr shaped insects with rasping mouthparts and chew on emerging new growth. The result is distorted new growth as is exhibited in the image. Control with safer’s soap or any product containing spinosad ever 7-10 days.
