I am having problems with black spots on the stems and leaves of my tomato
plants. I have about 10 plants and about half are affected. I have been
spraying them with Ortho Disease Control and removing the affected stems and
leaves but the problem seems to get worse. I have even been watering close to
the ground to avoid splashing dirt on the plant.

Every tomato gardener should have this page

bookmarked. See if you can figure out exactly what disease in on the
leaves so you can apply the correct remedy.

If you're still not sure, put a couple of the leaves in a baggie, and
take them to your local extension agent or to a nursery with a
knowledgeable staff.


Is there any way to save my plants? I would rather not have to destroy them
and start over if I don't have to since I have invested a lot of time into
them.

The key is identifying what you have, so you can get proper treatment
for the tomatoes.
