My eggplant is dropping small, squishy pellets. My blossoms are dropping off and only a few eggplants formed. Then the fruit dropped off half way to maturity is is totally rotten. I am growing them in bags in my new greenhouse. I am guessing rotten fruit and dropping flowers is blossom rot but what are the pellets?
Have you no eaten leaves? Usually caterpillars leave you such presents.
I enlarged yours and they look like very fresh tomato horn worm poo.
Look very carefully over entire plant and any plant nearby. They hide well.

Thanks. I’ll look again but I have several very large tomato plants right next to the eggplant and lots and lots of leaves. I am new to greenhouse gardening and thought a more controlled setting would help with pests. Guessing they may have come from soil?
