but the main strategy is to keep water off teh leaves. No overhead
watering (I have a drip system) and a plastic cover to keep the rain off, so a greehouse or hoophouse type thing. The disease spreads by spores being splashed up off teh ground onto the lower leaves by water drops. We are seeing a tomato
blight this year I have never seen before. It appears as yellow spots on the
upper surfaces of leaves and are about 3-5 mm in diameter. The same spot presents
on the back side of the leaf as a brown spot with a yellow halo. We are also
seeing white and yellow blotching on the skins of the fruits which are probably
manifestations of the blight. It is definitely not early blight or septoria
leaf spot, both of which I am familiar. I don’t think it is
characteristic of late blight either. This blight appeared
first in my hoop houses where I had mulched with double layers of plastic,
black on the bottom and red on top with drip irrigation. One consultant
told me that this was being caused by the unusually hot and humid weather we
were experiencing in late July and early August here in Marlin Burkholder Virginia zone 6 |
