New Tomato Diseases Factsheet

Are your tomato plants showing signs of distress? Sharon Morrisey, Consumer Horticulture Agent for Milwaukee County, has issued a new factsheet on tomato diseases — septoria leaf spot, late blight and early blight.

There are 3 main diseases that make growing tomatoes in Wisconsin a challenge. Until recently, only Septoria and Early Blight were problems, appearing almost every year to greater or lesser degree. Neither of these kill tomato plants outright and neither actually damage the tomatoes directly. The third disease, Late Blight, is a different story. It was reported in Wisconsin in 2009 for the first time in many years.
