Tomatoes: tobacco mosaic/early blight?
 

Hi,

Has anyone had their crops ravaged by either of these? It seems that I have
one or the other. We gave some of the plants from the same source to a
friend, who also has the same symptoms.

What steps should be taken to eradicate this?

Kurt

My first 2 thoughts are find another source of plants and put them in
another location.

This site has good information.

I spray my tomatoes once a week late in the evening with a good
fungicide that also has bacteria disease fighting in it. I also add 1/2
aspirin per gal. of water. It works for me. I had a 2lb. 10 oz tom last
year.

It's safe for human consumption? What is the name of the product?

I will have to go out to the shed and look. I got it at a Amish supply
store. It only takes 1 1/2 oz per gal once a week to 10 days. The
aspirin you can use any brand. I think you could use any fungicide like
greenhouses use. What I use came in a 2 1/2 gal. can and I paid $70 but
at 1 1/2 oz per gal I have a lifetime supply. I have let some of my
master gardener friends have some of it also.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find a safe fungicide for veggies. :^)
