Dr. John Damicone, Professor of Plant Pathology, joins host Kim Toscano to highlight some of the diseases homeowners are experiencing in their tomatoes. #4103 Airdate: 7/19/2014
Very good info, one of the best videos I have saw on tomato diseases. Mr. Damicone is very well versed and does an excellent job of explaining these problems. Kim is an excellent host, thank you for sharing this video.
This was such a great video!!! I really enjoyed learning about the different problems tomato plants can have🍅 We live in Central Florida Zone 9b and it can be so tough to deal with fungal & bacterial disease outbreaks. I'm so grateful to hear a professionals point of view🌿🍅
Stacey Here we grow again-Tell me about it. I live in sunny, hot and humid south Florida, Miami to be exact and its next to imposible to grow any tomatoes. However, I found cherry tomatoes and some small bell shape tomatoes growing wild in my back yard. Don't really know where they came from, perhaps from bird droppings. My neighbor raises pigeons and that's the only explanation I can come up with. But they are thriving and doing well, without any personal care or attention. Meanwhile the ones I purchase from Home Depot or grow from seedlings, which I baby sit, fertilize, water and use good soil, its next to impossible to grow. They get fungus, snails, worms, caterpillars, or get infected with insects. I used everything and nothing seems to work at least not permanently. I am at my wits end and about ready to give up and will just have to settle on the wild tomatoes.
Anthony Poole had some major hail earlier this month. Then it got really cold, and stayed cold for at least 3-4 days. All of course after I transplanted my seedlings for the season..
The healthiest tomatoes seem to be the volunteers coming right out of my compost pile. I have 3 or 4 that have sprung up on the perimeter of my compost heap. Go figure. They receive no care from me, watering, nothing and they're as strong and happy as can be.
Copper spray helps a lot. I've tried it, and my friends did as well. However, dont wait until the disease occurs. Spray when seedlings are around 6 inches tall (before planting), then a couple of times every 2-3 weeks (not earlier, as it will damage the plant). IT'S IMPORTANT YOU SPRAY EITHER EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING, SO IT DOESNT KILL THE BEES (if the spray it wet on the plant, the bees will carry it to their hive and kill other bees or the queen, which eventually weakens the colony, and if no queen, kills the hive). Ideally, its also good that it rains 3 days after the spray. The fruits can be eaten a few days after the spray.
I can’t believe this. A great testimony that i must share to all HERPES patient in the world i never believed that their could be any complete cure for HERPES or any cure for HERPES,i saw people’s testimony on sites of how @dr_aigbe . prepare herbal cure and brought them back to life again. i had to try it too and you can,t believe that in just few weeks i started using it all my pains stop gradually and i had to leave without the HERPES DRUGS the doctor gave to me. Right now i can tell you that few months now i have not had any pain,delay in treatment leads to death. Here is his email: (draigbeherbalcentre123@yahoo.com) he can also cure you from HPV HIV HIV2 Hepatitis B Diabetes
While this was posted a year ago it was VERY informative. I lost all my tomato plants this year due to the over abundance of rain we had here in the Midwest....I will try a copper product next year as a "preventative".....thank you!
Rotate through three different anti-fungal spray mixed with bt powder. Spray every week or after a rain then restart. Start spraying when planted.use malathion as per lable when fruit sets. Or grind hot peppers and spray every week for leaf hoppers and stink bugs. Chlorothalonil (doconil) or sulphur (until 80) copper mancozeb mix before fruit ripens, quadris top early on for anthracnose. If you live in the south you have to spray. If organic spray more often.
Love the info you both gave. We planted our tomatoes, then we got 5 inches of rain everyday for a week, then more the week after. The plants looked good then they got dead brown leaves. I heard that you can put down a fungicide in the soil before planting. Will that help? Also, I am going to solarize. Do you think that will help. I am so tired of putting money into the garden and have the plants wither and die, but the tops keep growing and looking good for a while till they all wither and turn brown. Another problem is the leaf-footed bug. I spray them with soapy water and pick them off and drown them in a cup of soapy water. Is there any way to get rid of them? Thanks for any help.
Some sound knowledge from a professor that teaches instead of one that solely researches. Like most professors some are down to earth sharing their knowledge and the others are just arrogant pricks. Dr. Damicone seems pretty down to earth.
Thanks. I see this is 5 years old but its still helping newbie gardeners. I know that the 2 plants with leaf roll are experiencing Physiological leaf roll And this really messed up 1 has beet curly top virus. QUESTION Should I also toss the soil. It is in a 5 Gallon food grade "Wicking bucket" . Is there any possibility that it can get into the soil ??
My problem is my tomatoe plants are turning to mush at the base. The plant looks healthy have lots of tomatoes on them the stem starts to turn brown at the base and its mushy like something was inside. We have taken the stem apart looking g for a worm and nothing. What could it be? Please help!
People, including "university experts" say tomatoes are heat-loving plants, but nothing could be further from the truth. Tomato plants in general really only want/need moderate heat. Extended periods (5 days or more) of 85F temps brings problems to tomato plants. Most gardening info/advice, even from "university experts", is complete junk.
Reminds me of the last 5 minutes of the movie "The Godfather" Part 1... When Vito is playing in the tomato Garden with his grandson- you see they have tarps over the plants most likely to shield them from harsh sun.
My tomatoes grow throughout our 100 degree summers here in Southwest Florida. Do they thrive? Definitely not, they prefer 80 degrees like it is this time of year but I would still say they like the heat over the cold.
Are the fruits still ok to eat? I have no idea what's going on with my plant. It's fruiting and some are now ripening but then the leaf roll started and now the leaves are all turning yellow. It's in a pot.
I mail-ordered purple (black) tomato seeds. Most of the full grown plants now have what looks like curly top. I have a mix or cherry and large purple tomato plants. They are making only a few tomatoes so far. I'm very sad and disappointed to see them afflicted.
Curiously it looks like the plants have recovered. I also read it may be too much nitrogen that caused the curly/gnarled growth. That has resolved itself.
From Central Arkansas, thank you for the very informative video. Appreciate it. I'll be searching further to see if Oklahoma Gardening or State U. has any information on treating the soil that contains the fusarium wilt virus.
Note to Dr John D. thanks GREAT and helpful insights ! that leaf curl had me stumped ,just wont plant Abraham Lincoln tomatoes here any more ! pure curl ,,huge plant 1 tasty tomato! (California) bye the way I managed to eliminate fusarian wilt from my soil using WORM TEA made from my home made worm compost .Mychorisal compost minerals,and some fert and food and kelp .. using same soil I had extensive fungal damage ,now I never see it anymore. also worm compost in soil mix bout 20% or less, and ALL my compost is aged at least a year.
Hello sir, i really like agriculture sector I have Bachelor degree in agribusiness ,anyway how can get internship in your farm I'm from Rwanda in Africa
i use a baking soda spray as a preventive against blight but the past two years it seems every time i spray it rains shortly afterwards. i would like to spray once a week to ten days but with all this rain the baking soda gets washed off. they say one to two tablespoons per gallon of water but i am going to stick with one tablespoon. i mixed up some the other day and used two tbs and the very edges of the leaves look to be burnt. naturally within a day or two of spraying it rained even though it was not supposed to. well according to the weather man anyway.
My tomato trees some of the leaves are getting white. Those yellow and turning dry I cut it off. What is the best thing to do to keep my tomatoes healthy? I put water twice a day because summer here.
Thanks for watching +Josephine Rock! Rarely do the pathogens that infect plants have the same effect on humans. They are safe to eat, however they may not be desirable. Avoid eating moldy or rotten produce though! Great question, and happy gardening!
6:25 in the video, I can tell that you will be sick because in the top right corner there is a lizard most probably what the guy hired to look after the tomatoes and they could easily infect the tomatoes.
4 years ago I was suffering from DDD and I have tried everything I could to heal myself, but it was all to no avail, until I saw a post on a health forum about an herbalist preparing herbal medicines to cure everything type of diseases. Including DDD , at first I doubted it was real, but decided to give it a try, when I contacted this herbalist through his TH-cam DR Rorpopor Herbal and he prepared me a herbal cure for DDD and sent it to me via the delivery service of UPS from the company, when I received this herbal cure. , gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when I applied it according to the instructions I was totally cured thank you DR Rorpopor Herbal on TH-cam for helping me 4
Hi there I have been searching the cause of my problem.... Ireland based, stared 2 varieties from seed (scatolone and oxheart) I transplanted seedling once, all good. I transplanted them again in single pots over a week ago. The soil is not soaked just humid. Watered from the bottom, they are in the house on the window...they started get their leaves wilted and then dry. I am removing those leaves...the situation is not getting better and the leaves left curl up towards the bottom. The stem is nice and strong and green. No sings of rotting... the roots are not as developed as I'd like them to be... and out of 8 plants all of them are losing lots of foliage with 3 that have barely any left on (in middle small new foliage) ....what can I do...please help...
Safick Moulan, Effective control of insects and diseases is imperative in commercial tomato production. Unless specialty varieties are being grown, look for varieties with resistance to Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2 at a minimum. Seed catalogs often code these as VF1,2. Soil insecticide may be applied during soil preparation or in the transplant fertilizer solution to reduce cutworm damage. Scout for fruitworms beginning at the time of initial fruit set. Spray schedules must be developed and maintained. Spreader/sticker materials should be added to all spray solutions to improve leaf and fruit coverage and prevent spray wash off by rain or sprinkle irrigation. Refer to Extension Fact Sheets EPP-7625, EPP-7626, EPP-7627 and Circular E-832 for the most current information. Sprayers-A good sprayer for disease and insect control is essential for growing quality tomatoes. Adequate coverage of the leaf surfaces requires high pressure and several nozzles or high speed air movement to break up the spray material into small particles.
It's a worm! Saw one on my tomato plants! So whats next for a fall garden, in southwestern louisiana! So i should just scrap or compost my tomato plants?Because I have everything that you are saying is going on except the curling with purple veins! My tomato leaves are curling! But no fruit and at least 5 to 6 large plants , without fruits and maybe a flower or two! What can I do?
Nice presentation but,it would have been better if all the views of Dr are reproduced under the description to facilitate the viewers gain more and take notes of the expert views Thanks pl.
I have a good crop of tomatoes but noticed that some tomatoes have small soft areas on the bottom. I never had this in years in New York now I am gardening in Nevada and last year had two seasons in the Las Vegas area. I would like to know to treat this disease.
We are so sorry to hear that! Here is a quick fact sheet that discusses tomato diseases and their treatments! pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-1323/EPP-7625web.pdf
3 things. Remineralize the soil. Azomite is cheap and affective. Compost. Get your microorganism population up and happy. This is easily done with the compost and a nice mulch layer. Mulch is key to making the microorganisms happy. A soft bottomed tomato is just days away from being a black bottomed tomato. Either you dont have enough calcium or it's not available. If your ph is inbetween 6.4 and 6.8 your perfect. Outside of that range and your going to give the plants problems being able to uptake the calcium. This happens often Nutrient absorption is directly related to your ph. Google nutrient ph absorption chart and you will see the list of macro and micro butrients and the range in which they can be absorbed. Very interesting stuff. To test your soil ph, you must do whats called a slurry test. You can google that as well. Oregons constant gardener has a youtube channel thats helpful with this but there are many videos that can assist you. Good luck
If it is a brown spot sound like blossom end rot and can be remedied by putting a little gypsum around the plant. It will not affect those that already have it but will protect the next generation. Gypsum is CaSo4 or Calcium sulfate and it is the calcium that fixes the problem.
Still trying to find someone who knows the answer to a problem I have had. In growing domingo plants, on a plant or two I will get tomatoes on the whole plant the size and shape of romas, it normally kicks out big beef tomatoes.
Could I spray a light copper solution on the soil this winter to prevent Fusarium wilt in the spring? I use copper on my fruit trees, I buy it in bulk, powder form from Johny's seeds (Very cost effeciant). Is it true the copper will kill your worms? Thank you.
i've been plucking the leave off bottom up to 4th roll to the top or 4 rolls down leaving them. THERE DOING EXCELLENT i also been leaving suckers, on em, if they bloom They don't bloom? i snap em off These are ROMA tomato's> been black lighting them at night time > to fine worm ect they glow green or yellow
Very good info, one of the best videos I have saw on tomato diseases. Mr. Damicone is very well versed and does an excellent job of explaining these problems. Kim is an excellent host, thank you for sharing this video.
By plating tomato’s for so long like my self make you learn a lot because over the years you will see enough to understand how to grow them
I love growing *_everything!_*

I've got more of an issues with wind damage in my whole garden from two different storms. Made a mess of my garden second year in a row
Anthony Poole had some major hail earlier this month. Then it got really cold, and stayed cold for at least 3-4 days. All of course after I transplanted my seedlings for the season..
The healthiest tomatoes seem to be the volunteers coming right out of my compost pile. I have 3 or 4 that have sprung up on the perimeter of my compost heap. Go figure. They receive no care from me, watering, nothing and they're as strong and happy as can be.

lol I guess when plants aren't babied they seem to do better
ruthkuus Compost corrects a lot of problems before they manifest in the plant.
You need to talk about exact sprays to put on your tomato plants and leaves
Copper spray helps a lot. I've tried it, and my friends did as well. However, dont wait until the disease occurs. Spray when seedlings are around 6 inches tall (before planting), then a couple of times every 2-3 weeks (not earlier, as it will damage the plant). IT'S IMPORTANT YOU SPRAY EITHER EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING, SO IT DOESNT KILL THE BEES (if the spray it wet on the plant, the bees will carry it to their hive and kill other bees or the queen, which eventually weakens the colony, and if no queen, kills the hive). Ideally, its also good that it rains 3 days after the spray. The fruits can be eaten a few days after the spray.
I found Copper Fungicide at full strenght burned a lot of my tomato plant leave, but it does work. I will try 1/2 strength next time I spray.
great video thank you
The actual cause of the damage is from a mite that's called russet mites.
Really good examples and explanations. thanks
Thanks for tuning in! We appreciate you!
Very Informative
Thanks
thanks for massive and informative knowledge.
I have 8 plants in a row. 4 are doing great! 4 I think have fursarium wilt! Should i pull them? Need help! Would they kill the healthy plants?

The tops of my tomato plants are turning yellow and the yellow is moving downward. No bugs, no spots, no mildew. What is this and how can I fix it?
Rotate through three different anti-fungal spray mixed with bt powder. Spray every week or after a rain then restart. Start spraying when planted.use malathion as per lable when fruit sets. Or grind hot peppers and spray every week for leaf hoppers and stink bugs. Chlorothalonil (doconil) or sulphur (until 80) copper mancozeb mix before fruit ripens, quadris top early on for anthracnose. If you live in the south you have to spray. If organic spray more often.

Lil lizard ran across the garden around 6:27 lol
I saw it too!!
Would spraying an oregano oil water on the tomatoes with the virus help, or would it be too much for the tomato?
Love the lizard at 6:26
If your leaf curl goes away when you water...your plants just need water..This "Expert" didn't know this?
Did anyone see the lizard scurry across the ground? Haha
@ 6:25 in the video what was that running across the ground? scary looking!!
Catfish Hunter Looks like a little lizard. Probably harmless.

Still trying to find someone who knows the answer to a problem I have had. In growing domingo plants, on a plant or two I will get tomatoes on the whole plant the size and shape of romas, it normally kicks out big beef tomatoes.
yes350yes I’m using an aero garden I have a black thumb. I have grown plenty tomatoes.
Could I spray a light copper solution on the soil this winter to prevent Fusarium wilt in the spring? I use copper on my fruit trees, I buy it in bulk, powder form from Johny's seeds (Very cost effeciant). Is it true the copper will kill your worms? Thank you.
i would have liked to see a response to your questions. :(

Same here! Had to replace 2 plants because of it. Hoping to stick out the last plant though, but it's so sad. 😭

Mere tamater ka pattiya bhi murh raha hai
My roma tomatoes are doing great...however my beef steak all got diseases.
Look at the disease resistance of the plant. The label will tell what it has. VFN are some things to look for.
The bottom leaves emaciate and send nutrients to the fruit. Just how the plants grow.
Proof? Citations?
