Can anyone tell me what these bugs on my tomato plant is?

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's up with my tomatoes?
Comments (10)"I bought the highest grade soil that the nursery sold so I assumed they wouldn't need it right away." High grade soil is usually highly graded for friability, permeability, and resistance to dense clumps. It can have nothing to do with nutrients. Those nutrients arise once bacterial action is in full swing on that soil, and that won't happen unless it is mixed with bacterially rich soil from the ground and chewed on by that bacteria for months or years. In fact, plants simply won't grow in that stuff unless you apply fertilizer. That's how it is intended to be used, if not as an amendment to ground soil. As noted, with all those wood chips in it, there won't be a lot of nitrogen. Daily watering is too much, as also noted. "Dry spells"? As in, no rain? You're not trying to keep the surface moist. You're trying to keep it moist where the roots are. But too much water just drowns them....See MoreCan someone please tell me what these bugs are on my nasturtiums?
Comments (21)If the plant can withstand a strong stream of water, it can actually crush or kill these soft bodied insects. At the very least, it will dislodge them and make them more vulnerable to predation. But nothing, not even insecticides, will keep them way permanently. Insecticides that are effective against aphids are usually contact insecticides.......they will kill by smothering but the insects must be present and come in contact with the product. Anything you use - water or something stronger - will need to be repeated as necessary :-) Spider mites like conditions to be hot and dry. Spraying the plants down periodically will create a more humid environment that the mites dislike and they will stay away....See MoreNone
