Growing tomatoes can seem like a daunting task.
However, together with the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , we did everything possible to make this task easier.
If you are serious about getting a decent tomato harvest from your garden, the first thing you should be aware of is the common diseases that this crop is susceptible to.
The "Grand Prix" in this list is worthy of such a disease as late blight, or brown rot. It can be recognized by gray spots on leaves and fruits, which after a while turn brown, and then black.
The following medications will help cure the fungus: Ridomil Gold, Quadris, Previkur, Fundazol, etc.
Next in line is mosaic, which appears as yellow spots on the foliage. Affected leaves curl and dry out, and the fruits grow small and deformed.
Fitoverm, Akarin, Iskra-bio and others have proven their effectiveness in the fight against mosaic.
Another dangerous disease is bacteriosis. If you see white spots on the leaves, which are subsequently covered with ulcers and cracks, there is no doubt - a bacterial disease has come to your beds.
Confirmation will be fruits covered with watery spots, which over time turn black and become soft.
"Baktoblitz", "Fitolavin", "Trichodermin", "Alirin-B" and other drugs will help to cope with the disease.
