Never grown Peppers, have no idea.
They say Stillman's cream is good for pimples.

Hahahahah good one Arif sahab

Izhar sahab i figure out the problem. Its due to the attack of thrips.
Yesterday, i sprayed neem oil with liquid soap. Will do it again after 2 days. inshaAllah. Hope it will work. If you have any organic solution then please do let me know, thanks!

I was reluctant to reply because I haven't seen this type of damage by thrips on pepper fruits...

For very good organic pesticide please note the following:

Organic Pesticide Recipe:

• 1 liter water
• Half kg Neem leaves
• 50 gm Tobacco leaves

Add all the ingredients and keep them in dark place for 10 days.
After 10 days; use it by mixing 20-25 ml of this with 1 liter water. Spray in evening for 3 days consecutive, and then alternate for 7 days. Use weekly for prevention of any attack.


Soap solution:

• 1 tablespoon pure soap
• 1 liter water
• 2 tablespoon cooking oil

Dissolve soap in warm water add oil when soap is fully dissolved. It works on mealy bugs and severe attack of aphids. It knocks the insects off the plants but they tend to crawl up again. It should be used thrice or more to completely eliminate the pests.

Thanks a lot Izhar sahab. I wonder after using tobacco leaves i will asking you for the remedy of TM virus - JK

One thing i forgot to tell you that i sprinkled cinnamon after the spray.

TM Virus will not be an issue... the tobacco field plants with TM Virus are burnt on the first sign so the available tobacco is relatively safe...
