The good prevention is prune off the unnatural leaves as soon as you see them . I lop off all branch and leaf within 18 inches of the reason to attempt to forestall this as it is a soilborne disease . other Blight overwinters in the soil . Remove affected plants and make clean up fall garden rubble as it overwinters in plant residual . Wet weather increase likelihood of getting this disease . CONTROL : Protectant fungicides - Copper or sulpher can forbid further development of it , Green Cure ( potassium bicarbonate ) , and Serenade ( QST 713 var. of Bacillus subtilis ) , a biofungicide helps more to preventdisease and is not a curative . Also space plant life farther apart for unspoilt air circulation may help . Good sanitation and disposal of works at end of season are important .

BACTERIAL WILT - SOILBORNE DISEASESoil borne and waterborne pathogen that causes leaves to droop in solar day only to find at night and then complete sudden wilting of plant . trial : Cut a four inch long section from low down on the prow and suspend this press cutting in a jar of water .

Infected plants produce miserable timbre yield and less output . Pull plants and dispose of them . CONTROL : Elimination difficult . Using broody mulches may help reduceinfection , physical barriers like covering works with course cover when it is young .
BLOSSOM - END ROT DEFICIENCYHard brown or bootleg leathery patches on the efflorescence end of mature tomatoes indicate prime - end rot . It is more common in big fruited miscellanea . This is generally triggered by a calcium want at fruit correct or uneven watering and is prevented by planting tomatoes in compost enriched soil and mulch with straw to keep moisture level more constant . I put a tablespoon or two of dry milk in the bottom of each hole when first planting tomatoes . In the free fall excavation in some gypsum which is a good source of calcium without raising the ph of the grease here in Santa Fe .
