Can you tell me what happened to my Dens?
Comments (2)Thank you, clint. I'll hold off watering and spraying it for a few days, I guess. We're getting a nice breeze so that should help dry it out as well. I'll run up to the nursery today for some Physan....See MoreCan you tell me what is causing this to my tomato plant? (photo)
Comments (1)The two major fungal foliage pathogens are Early Blight ( A. solani) and Septoria Leaf Spot, and it looks like the latter to me. For sure it isn't A. solani and it isn't either Bacterial Speck or Spot. Please go to Google, select images, enter Septoria Leaf Spot and see if it resembles what you have. You can also go to the Tomato Pest and Disease Forum, link at the top of thios page, look for the thread titled Problem Solver #2 and in the following posts find the link to TAMU for pictures and other links and resources. My suggestion is to ASAP get Ortho Disease Control and spray with that. It's Daconil which is very effective against tomato fungal foliage pathogens. But it's best used as a preventative, not a cure, but at least you can protect the new foliage. Carolyn...See MoreCan someone tell me what is happening to my tomato plants
Comments (9)http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/tomato Might want to post in the Growing Tomatoes forum, rather than the Tomato Pests & Disease forum. The former gets much more traffic. There's a couple things I see off hand that could be a problem. One is that a 5 gallon bucket is pretty much the bare minimum sized container that you'd want to grow full-sized tomato plants in. 10-15 gallon would be much better. The plants quickly get root bound and stressed much quicker and need watered and fed much more often in smaller containers. Dwarf plants will do okay in 5 gallon buckets. Can't tell if there are spots on the leaves or not but early blight or one of the many other fungus/disease that tomatoes get is a possibility. The treatment for all is the same though. Remove the affected leaves and start spraying with a fungicide. Also, general color of the plants, unless it's due to the camera, look anemic to me. Have you fed them at all?

Comments (2)The white dots are salt deposits left behind when sap that makes its way to the leaf surface evaporates. ..... not sure what caused the brown, crusty patches on the epidermis. It could be any number of things: sunburn (photo-oxidation), something phytotoxic landing on the leaves (like hair spray or mist from a spray room deodorizer), air pollution (smokers in the house?), over-watering/oedema, a cleaning agent that might have been used to remove dust from leaves ....... Really - there's not enough info to make a meaningful diagnosis. Al...See Morevgkg Z-7 Va
