This effect could have been caused by the impact of the agrochemical in the soil biota and by phytotoxicity, because some plants transplanted in treated soil showed slight chlorosis, terminal necrosis in the leaves and in some cases necrosis in the stem that wasn't associated with the infection caused by P. capsici.
