Hi Ghulam Mustafa . Based on your pictures, the burn-like fruit lesions is caused by a fungus Colletothricum spp. causing Anthracnose of Pepper . It's common in the mature or late stages of peppers. You may remove and burn all the infected fruits to not futher spread the disease and you can also apply fungicides such as Azoxystrobin, Tebuconazole, Difeconazole. Also, the leaf holes are damages caused by worms. You can manually pick and destroy it and also you can spray some insecticides such as Lambda-cyhalothrin, Thiamethoxam, or Flubendiamide. Hope it helps. :]

Hi Ghulam Mustafa yeah the symtoms are much close to Anthracnose of Pepper disease. 1) Remove the fruits which are heavily infested & buried them into deep soil. 2) Go for the application of NATIVO. It is easily available in market.

Ghulam Mustafa as u can see in every mature fruit there is a small hole . It's is caused by Chilli fruit borer .Fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera is a polyphagous pest and the peak activity is noticed in October to June month... Control: Growing Marigold in chilli field: due to yellow colour of flower it attracts insect pest for egg laying this helps to manage pest incidence to some extent.                OR: Spray endosulfan 35 EC 2 ml/lit carbaryl 50 WP 2 g/lit or B. thuringiensis 2 g/lit
