Is this Septoria leaf spot?

[Mas Fuego]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. This is my first year growing tomatoes. These are Husky Cherry Red Tomatoes. Stuff does not look right.




Using my Google Foo I could only find Septoria leaf spot. Is this that? If so, the treatment I read is Liquid Copper Fungicide. Now, I have no idea what that is, so can someone tell me what to buy at HD or Amazon? (Not a description. Make it plain. Like, an exact product name or link. Need not be organic.)

If it isn't, What the heck?

Thanks

Maybe not Septoria, no yellow halo around your black spots, but it oes look bacterial, or other fungal. I use Southern Ag brand of lioquid copper fungicide concentrate. I mix it 1/2 Tablespoon per gallon h2O. I get it at HD.

That looks like it. I tried to put a little effort in before posting.

Thanks for the link.

Go Gators!

That link on the UF website was not encouraging. Are you able to come back after getting this on your plant?

Sometimes. I would trim affected leaves off and bag them up to get them out of your garden and spray the copper, which works on bacterial infections too. Yours doesn't look like a severe case. Be thorough, under and over whole leaf and stem down to soil line. Then spray again every 4 days for twice more. Note, too strong of a copper spray will stunt and distort your leaves so DO NOT mix it any stronger. I have done this learning for you- the hard way, Lol! The 1/2 tablespoon per gallon strength is plenty strong enough without harming the plant.More is not better.

I sprayed it today. Hoping all goes well. I cut off the dead and dying first. There is more spotted than I cut off.

I am growing in containers so I am guessing my other containers are safe. I will post a follow-up.
