There does not appear to be much info with regards to this condition. Stip can manifest as blurred brown spots on the outer surface of pods. First signs appear on immature green pods. This can very often be misdiagnosed as a bacterial or fungal infection. Stip is believed to be a calcium deficiency and thus not due to pathogens.

The key factor to diagnosing Stip is that immature pods display blurred brown spots but the plant has healthy foliage.

Treatment for Stip is the same as for Blossom End Rot.
