Bees gone for a break too?
The only answer , as I'm not a scientist or expert on diseases is "all of
em" as its a multi purpose dust. I don't know what causes the plants to get sick. When I get my Diploma of Plant diseases, I could answer you.. As it is, I'm as much in the dark as you are regarding the problems I have had in the past. I will take pictures if I see the diseases, and put them on the web, then some one may know. The problem occurs as described previously.. It could be mildew /fungal problems or a virus disease transmitted by thrips. It seem to happen later on into the season and they blacken and dry out. High humidity, lack of air movement seems to hasten the problem and tomatoes are not very productive after that. BTW, I am not as careful lwithe watering the plant as I should be as the leaves often get wet and make contact with the soil... PS I wish I did have that diploma.... but that all I can give you.
