Fungal diseases are one of the central challenges for us tomato growers in South Florida, where it's buggy, hot and wet even during the winter. I've been fortunate in the past as I've had great harvests with minimal chemical intervention, but last year required heavier artillery. I'm hoping to find a happy middle ground this season.Jon VanZilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026643422328853037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904077667313642692.post-15313802456769880252011-08-25T18:57:43.927-07:002011-08-25T18:57:43.927-07:00I'm looking forward to seeing what you do.

The year before we actually sprayed for grey leaf spot and had a fantastic season. But most of the years before we did not spray and had only handfuls of tomatoes. We are talking 12-15 plants and at no time did we have more than a few tomatoes at a time. I would love to know what to really do for the funguses. It is VERY frustrating to buy plants, put all that effort and have them all wither and go yellow and woody and shrivel up. I did try this spring to grow 3 tomato plants in pots and we did spray a couple of times but they all shriveled. One did not even get more than a foot tall.Marcy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17472222489998267686noreply@blogger.com
