M I asking for blight?

[Bal]

Botrytis is far more likely in the Greenhouse than blight and like everything else more likely when you get overcrowded later in the season. The plants look fine at the moment IMHO just watch and trim as they grow

Shows how much I know I thought Botrytis was the scientific name for blight. What's the difference between the two, and what is blossom end rot please

Botrytis is the grey mould that attacks everything from seedlings to tomatoes to strawberries. It likes it moist.

Tomato and potato blight is a different fungus that only attacks Solanacaea. The symptoms are firstly yellow and brown patches on leaves that quickly spreads to stems and fruits and can run through a crop in hours. It needs warm damp conditions to grow, like botrytis does, except it's a different animal.

Blossom end rot is a dark rotting patch on the bottom of a tomato or pepper fruit that is caused by poor growing conditions, particularly irregular watering. It's not a fungus.

So many diseases!
