Phytophthora capsici is an oomycete pathogen of vegetable crops worldwide, causing crop losses exceeding 50% and possibly resulting in crop failure. Extensive research has been conducted on various facets of this pathogen since it was first described in 1922. Information from past research efforts has enhanced the understanding of the biology and management of P. capsici. However, this pathogen remains a continuous challenge to vegetable production. This mini-review succinctly provides (i) an appraisal of the current state of management approaches and outlines a framework for designing an integrated management system for P. capsici; and (ii) identifies knowledge gaps and delineates new research perspectives for control of this pathogen.
