With the rain comes trouble!!!It rained for a couple of days last week and it is hot again. The rain did not help my tomato but it brought trouble. Septoria? ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) I noticed some of the leaves started to have dried brown spot all over and I googled it to find out what is going on. My deduction is that it is attack by septoria fungus. Errr .... is my conclusion correct? After Treatment ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) I wanted to save the plant because it is my only plant so I opted to just remove the infected leaves. Hope that this hot sunny weather will help the poor plant recover real fast. This blog entry has been viewed 1018 times

KK, good thinking to remove the infected leaves. I think you can spray the tomato with a baking soda mixture to fight fungal disease. I think it is 1 teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), a couple drops of dish soap to 2 quarts ( or 2 liters-close enough), mix together and spray(wet and dripping) the tomato plant once a week with the spray. This will help to heal the effected spots as well as control the fungus.
Thanks for the home remedy, really appreciate it. I am keeping a watchful eye and it seems to be doing ookie at the moment. Love the way you describe this plant "volunteer plant" :) .... I'll bear that in mind. Login or register to leave a comment. |
