After heavy rains, brutal winds, and armies of grasshoppers in the Heartland this year, all 28 of my (heirloom) plants have this-despite great spacing for good air flow. I couldn't keep up trimming the leaves and the spots are also on the stems and a couple fruits. The upper foilage is beautiful and vigorous with many flowers that just keep withering and dropping. I wish I had known how to treat early on. I'm ready to pull them all out...☹ Does anyone know if the disease lives on in the fruit seeds? If I could save seeds from the few fruits, at least it wouldn't be a total loss.
No mention of what type of fungicides work best. Does spraying the ground with a fungicide at the end of the season help kill the spores for the next year. Is there another fungus or biologic that you can add to the soil to displace this one.
Bacilus amyloliquefaciens, it can be sprayed on the leafs and used as a soil drench. It also boosts the health of the plant in a variety of ways. Another pretty good one is wettable sulfur, this works well on fungus and controls some insects.
I’m studying Septoria Lycopersici for a personal project in school, and I found this to be a quite helpful video.
Thank you :)
Very nice video. What’s “regular” when spraying? Every two weeks? Should we cut off the diseased stems? Thanks.
Yes, cut it off.
very helpful my tomatoes are just showing a few of the spots.
