The peppers have been attacked by biting and sucking insects. To avoid these attacks, the seedlings will be sown in a greenhouse, behind insect-proof fabric. A preventive treatment can be applied using a mixture of diluted black soap and Neem oil. This crop can be combined with ecosystem plants that will either repel or attract pests to protect the crop (marigolds, cosmos).
