Blight on Tomatoes

Hi JWK. Sorry I didn't come back sooner, this thread passed me by. I got my wires crossed. I did in fact mean Carbendazim, here's a link. http://www.pan-uk.org/pestnews/Actives/Carbenda.htm. Cheers...freddy.

 

John, have you managed to rescue a crop with the Mancozeb / Bordeaux mixture?

 

Hi folks. Just thought I'd mention something JWK. I notice you are using the soil in the border to grow the toms in. In the past (many years ago) I did the same, but I noticed after 2 or 3 years, that the toms looked less and less healthy resulting in my having to replace the soil which was a bit of a chore. For this reason I have decided to only grow toms in growbags. Of course, there are pros and cons, and like I said, just thought I'd mention it. Cheers...freddy.

 

"my tomatoes have very much recovered."

Excellent, that's good to hear.

 

I been having trouble with mine for the last few weeks my trouble is the green ones keep dropping off the trusses, the sad thing about it all is nobody can tell me what the problem is, i fitted a louver opening window earlier in the season and have door open as well on really hot days.

 

Or underwatering perhaps. With tomatoes, in my experience consistency of watering reigme is crucial.

 

hi everyone

Iv had problems with blight as you may know but now i have found that if you use Neem Oil that most of the problems are cured. I thought you might like to check this link out:http://www.ozonebiotech.com/contact.html

Alot of the websites are based abroad but there is a company in the Uk that sell it.www.theneemteam.co.uk

Neem oil is very good on blackspot and blight iv found.:thumb:

Time i got some shut eye now lol.

 

Has anyone tried this neem oil stuff?
Wikipedia does say it can be used as a foliar spray. I'm very tempted to get some in (as desperate measure ) !
