View Full Version : Tomato infestation


Polar

This is the first year I can remember that all the tomato
plants have whitish stuff on the leaves, which soon wither and turn
brown. The plant itself continues to grow healthily (?) but I don't
know what if anything I should do about the infestation, if such it
is.

Any advice appreciated.

Have a look at http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/tomatoproblemsolver/index.html
and then click on "Leaf". There are photographs of the common problems and
remedies for them.

Thanks very much. Wonderful site.

I did peruse all the pictures carefully, but did not find the problem.

I do, I bought it months ago, and have been too chicken to learn to
use it! Maybe you have pushed me into action <g>
