A few weeks ago, I had blight that looked very bad on several of my plants. Ive tried various remedies over the years, but on a whim I bought a product called Natria by Bayer. It is advertised as a natural disease and bug killer and it worked great. I pulled off the bad leafs, sprayed the plants, and they now look as healthy as I could ever expect. The cherry's have dozens of green tomatos, and the other varieties all have green fruit or considerable blooms. Also, it looks like I'll have fresh jalapeno's within a few days.

Thanks, UEM, for the advice on the blight buster. I had a tough time with tomatoes last year, and I am trying every method in the book this year (and some outside the book)
|
I hope it keeps working. Here is a link and they even have a rebate available...the one I'm using is the disease, insect, and mite control (I had all 3 last year). Says it can be used right up to harvest. I bought it at Lowes.

Cool. What are the active ingredients? Have you grown an extra eye? :-)

were zapped completely by a blight, and I resorted to veg markets for good tomatoes. One grower told me that he too had blight, but he saved his crop with a spray fungicide applied frequently. He said the blight was transmitted thru the commercial growers, thus the widespread problem last year.
I'm sprayin' mine for sure this year....

Most blight is soil bourne. The rest can be improved by good air circulation around the plants. Over fertilization can exacerbate the problem - especially with inorganic fertilizers.
If your soil is not structured well and devoid of balanced nutrients you will have disease & bug problems. Fungus and bugs will generally attack weak plants. Weak soil will produce weak plants.
The soil I have found here is generally poor. Cotton & pulp cropping strips the soil.
Add lime early. Low calcium will cause weak plants and blossom end rot.
One other important tip is DON'T use high magnesium lime. Get Hi-Cal (agricultural) lime from your feed & seed. Too much magnesium will stunt and weaken your tomatoes.
I recommend any publication by Robert Rhodale for organic gardening.
Maybe this link will help otherwise:
