Tomato Plants dying

[Craigw02]

Hi Guys,

Not sure if anyone can help or if its just too late in the day but does someone know what is happening to my tomato plants situated in my greenhouse, they seem to be dying off as per the pics attached. Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks

Craig

It could be a host of problems!

Here's a website where you may be able to cross reference the exact symptoms and arrive at a prognosis yourself!

Hi

Could you pop the photos up the right way round - I get neckache looking sideways at things.

Pictures the right way up!!

That looks like botrytis to me.

I think so as well

That looks like botrytis to me.

Me too I am afraid. Cut off and bin/burn affected bits and pray, lots!

[Craigw02]

What exactly is botrytis and how would it come about and how would I stop it from happening again??

[rustylady]

Grey mould / Royal Horticultural Society Increase ventilation and pray.

I have it too in my gh. My fault for leaving it closed up (because it's been so cool since June and the fruits aren't ripening)

Reading an article on this last night. Strangely it said that the stronger/deep green plants are more likely to get it.

That looks nasty Craig, bad luck. Fingers crossed for you.

That's interesting: it struck my PW French Blacks first & worst: they are the biggest, lushest vines too

I lost several plants that looked like that just a few weeks ago, and 2 cucumbers, but I had given them a top dresssing of Blood fish and bone the week before, and was very heavy handed doing it (got my square feet and square metres mixed up), and I thought thats what done mine in, but now I'm wondering...............
