Many individuals have contacted us recently regarding flower drop on their Bhut Jolokia plants. This is a very common occurrence with this particular species, we do not know why but the Bhut Jolokia does not seem to set fruit well. There are several other factors that will affect fruit drop. Some of these include;Air temperatures over 95 F will cause the pollen to abort and subsequent flower dropToo much Nitrogen will cause excessive foliage growth and flower dropCertain disease or pests will cause flower dropEven the smallest amount of plant stress will cause flower drop ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE CALLING US?New Mexico recently implemented a new area code if you have trouble with the 575 area code please try 505The Chile Pepper InstituteNew Mexico State UniversityBox 30003 MSC 3QLas Cruces, N.M. 88003-8003Phone: 575-646-3028 Fax: 575-646-6041Email: hotchile@nmsu.eduNone of the information, pictures, or pdfs in any of the pages of this website may be used without the written consent of the Chile Pepper Institute, New Mexico State University 2008.
