Spray for tomatos

I wasn't aware that Fusarium was a problem in Louisiana unless Charlie lives in the northern part of the state.


Charlie, did your leaves look like this:



Fusarium


or this:

Early Blight


If it's the latter, then early application of Daconil or other fungal preventative, as well as a thick application of mulch (wheat straw or coastal hay), plus use of soaker hoses to water rather than sprinklers or a watering wand will all keep the problem under control.

The leaves titled "Early Blight" resemble my leaves. Of course the later into the summer it gets, the leaves will loose all of the green color and will be yellow and brown like in the pic. The top pic is not close enough to see the leaves good but my stalks do not look like those in the pic.

By the way we live in north west Louisiana.

I appreciate you taking time to offer your advice.
