[QUOTE="B&M Farms, post: 1013676, member: 15666"] Tomatoes are prone to disease. Using the latest varieties offered by the seed companies that state high disease resitance. Rotating where you plant and using a systemic fungicide from fruit set will help also. Don't wait until you see the lower leaves on the plant turning yellow. If they start this before they have fruit made its too late. Tomato plants are going to disease up eventually you just want them to produce fruit first. Calcium deficiency can cause blight and blossom end rot. Blight when the soil is wet and blossom end rot in dry soil conditions. Too much nitrogen will water up the fruit but they do love a high potash fertilizer. Use lime according to soil test to get a neutral soil PH. My grandpa used to grow several acres to sale in Dallas. I guess I listened to him every now and then but I hated them long tomato rows. [/QUOTE]
