Phytophthora capsici was first described by Leon H. Leonian at the New Mexico Agricultural Research Station in Las Crucesin in 1922. After this,issues were documented in the Arkansas River Valley of Colorado in the 1930s and 40's. Major research was initiated by M.K. Hausbeck and K.H. Lamour when crop losses due to P. capsici threatened to bankrupt numerous vegetable producers in Michigan (which could potentially threaten 134 million dollars worth of vegetable crops). P. capsici is also important on a global scale. It is potentially the most destructive disease of peppers in Spain.
