fusarium wilt

b54red · May 20, 2011

The Ashleigh plant didn't make it and had to be pulled when it totally wilted while loaded with small fruit. I have about a half a dozen more that are really sick and it will be hit or miss whether I will get a single tomato off of any of them. I am pouring a gallon of dilute bleach solution in some of the spots where I pulled up fusarium ravaged plants and am already replanting in those spots. I guess I'll find out in a couple of months if that helps or not. I was really hoping the Root Sheild and BiotaMax would be more helpful.

Ami, Barlow Jap is not looking so good anymore with one whole stem wilting and yellowing half way up the plant and it will be a race to see if it can make any fruit in time or not. I have it planted in some other spots so we will see if it does better in those spots. It was one gorgeous plant two weeks ago; but then so were most of the others that are now sick or dead from fusarium.
