Early Blight Disease In Tomatoes: How To Spot And Stop!

1. Circular, dark brown to black spots with dark concentric rings, can be observed on affected leaves, often compared to a “Bull’s eye”.

Symptoms

2.The fruit become infected-through the calyx or stem attachment, either in the green or ripe stage. Concentric ring present on the fruit surface.

Causes

Plants suffering from water stress and Plants that are deficient in nutrients are more susceptible to early blight.

Preventive Measures

Adopt crop rotation with non-Solanaceae family. Remove and destroy the plant debris properly after harvest.

Cultural Management:

Use disease free seeds for sowing Field sanitation

Chemical Management

Use chemicals like Polyram Fungicide,Cabrio Top Fungicide and Merivon Fungicide.
