  • Tomatoes in trouble?

    Hi,
    What is affecting my tomato plants. It seems to affect the newest leaves on the plant. I first noticed it out two weeks ago, i removed affected leaves and sprayed all plants. But its turning up again. Is it blight, if so will i get any ripe fruit. All the green fruit and plant stems seem ok.
    Thanks in advance

                      I think it's fusarium wilt, my gardeners delight have been effected with it pretty bad, it's also started on my sungold. It is very infectious

                      I have removed the badly effected leaves, and will just try and look after the plants best I can
                      I think it's down to the crappy weather, apparently maintaining your plants around 24c can help them fight it off

                      Anyone else had this disease before, and have any tips?

                        Whatever it is, I got a tomato plant from DT Brown that had it, and it is really struggling. It has grown more foliage since I removed all the diseased leaves, but the same is happening to it. I'll see if 24 degrees works on it, it does seem to have rallied a bit since I repotted it with Miracle Gro compost.
                        My other tomatoes are fine, but they are on a different windowsill, and different varieties.
                        Did I not read somewhere about spraying with milk as a treatment for fusarium ?
                        There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.

                          I thought milk spray was for mildew on courgettes and cukes .........but I could be wrong.

                            Been looking a bit more at google images, and maybe my toms could have magnesium deficiency

                            There planted in miracle grow mpc, and I have been feeding them tomato food, probably overdoing it a bit :/

                            Apparently if to much potash available they'll take up the potash, but not the magnesium
                            Any way I'm going to try foliar feeding them Epsom salts for a week and see what happens
                            Nothing to lose I guess

                            It's 20 gram of epsom salts per litre of water for the foliar spray

                              Update! I think the epsom salts is working, things looking a bit greener at least
