  • It's never a good day when you have a disease or pestilence in the garden. I'll show you in this video how to identify Tomato Fusarium Wilt. This is a frustrating condition because it can be difficult to properly identify. Once you see some of these characteristic symptoms, you will be able to diagnose this tomato disease and then move ahead to recover what you can from your garden. Thanks for joining me. I hope this video is helpful.

    Thanks so much for showing Fusarium Wilt. I'm eager to learn about more about diseases and what to do for them. So sorry you lost some tomatoes!

    I had fusarium wilt in my soil 20 years ago, and I stopped growing tomatoes in the soil and switched to pots only. For about 10 years I just used bagged potting soil and washed the pots at the end of the season with dilute bleach. There are other plants like beans & cucurbits that get fusarium as well, so don't plant those in that soil. I now work hard to improve the soil microbiome with worms and biochar and compost, and haven't seen the wilt come back. 💚

    I've been wondering if this is the problem on one of my tomatoes that's been looking wilty ever since it got humid. It does have the darker areas on the stem. I just kept thinking, well I'll bump it up again, or see if it lives long enough to put in the ground, but this video is a wake up call. If yours were put in the ground and never got better, i need to stop my wishful thinking and not waste my soil. :(

    Perfect timing as I’m in my garden. Amish paste never do well for me in Texas. Your tomatoes are SO much bigger than mine. I’m way north by the Oklahoma border.

    That is the first video I've seen that tells you how to definitively identify fusarium. I think that what's wrong with my Paul Robeson (other plants, both heirloom and hybrid, look fine).

    Something like that would devastate our tomatoes because we grow heirlooms but great to know that we could switch to hybrid.
    Your other tomatoes look amazing. We're just now starting to plant here , after this video I'll pay close attention. I appreciate it

    Thanks for this very informative video. I am north of Houston & haven’t had an issue with Amish Paste (they are actually one of my best producers!) but have had a wilt issue this year in a localized area. I pulled a jalapeño plant & 2 Ukrainian Purple tomato plants. I’m going to check the stem of the UP tonight before I burn it.
    I haven’t tried this, but a friend who is a large commercial cut flower farmer told me in the industry they often steam soil to kill off diseases/fungal issues that are soil born. With our TX humidity & heat I wonder if solarizing could yield a similar result.

    Ive lost 4 or 5 beefsteak tomato plants in the last 2 months up till today! This is my first year gardening and i could never find any definite information on this, and youe video is as close to what happened to my plants that i have seen. So my question is if theres no cure or prevention for this what are other options?
    Replace the soil in my tomato bed for next round of plants?
    Plant something else?
    I read on a tomato forum a small ratio of bleach to gallon of water and spray around the infected stems and around the soil could possibly slow down thr spread of this, just cant over due the bleach or itll kill good microbes and the plants itself..
    Or maybe digging thr top few inches of soil off the top and top dressing the bed with new manure maybe?

    My tomatoes have reddish orange bugs eating the tomatoes. I have killed 10 or 20 over the last week. I have tried Neem oil with no success and 7 dust. Same results.
    What is your suggestion? Please reply.
