Grow tomatoes in a Garden House is a popular hobby for millions of people around the world. Why? ... because there's nothing like a fresh, juicy tomato from your own garden.
Unfortunately, the problems of tomato plant are also very common. Problems may include insects, pests, diseases and improper care or fertilization. It doesn't matter if you grow tomatoes in a garden in a pot on your platform, upside down or sideways to the right, most tomato plants can fall victim to one or more of these problems.
The leaves of tomato plants are a great indicator of potential problems early. Regular weekly inspection of your tomato plant leaves you will noting changes at the beginning and detect problems while they can still be easily controlled. If a problem is allowed to pass unnoticed, can become untreatable and causing a total loss of the plant or crop.
Yellow leaves
Symptom: yellow, leaves open begin to form at the bottom of the plant and can operate in their own way the plant.
Cause: yellow leaves are a common problem and can be caused by many things. If the leaves open, yellow at the base of a tomato plant, it could just be a sign of aging and starting to die from bottom to top. It can also be caused by a deficiency of nitrogen in the soil.
Other factors can cause yellow leaves, including parasites, fungus, and bacterial infestations, but these cases usually result in deformed or curled leaves yellow or brown. For example, if the leaves are turning yellow or brown higher on the plant, may be a sign of early or late blight. Have your soil tested at a local nursery to confirm the diagnosis of nitrogen-deficiency.
Remedy: If the terrain has a shortage of nitrogen, integrate the land with well rotted manure or compost, which are both high nitrogen content. You can also apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. If the soil test results do not show any shortcomings, continue to explore other causes, including bacterial wilt or.
Shiny leaves, sticky, deformed
Symptom: leaves are deformed, sometimes yellow and seem to have a shiny, sticky substance on them. Young tomato plants are particularly vulnerable to this "small" problem. Not to be confused with leaves "rolled" which is a normal event and not harmful for several tomato plants.
Cause: aphids are small pear-shaped insects that gather on growing top or bottom of the leaves. Aphids damage by sucking sap plant tomatoes and excreting a sticky substance on foliage and fruit. Inspect the deformed normal leaves or leaves the vicinity and you should be able to see these insects.
Whiteflies and spider mites are nearly invisible insects that can cause similar symptoms. Spider mites cause small yellow spots and thin webs on leaves. Whiteflies have actually flight when you brush the plant.
Remedy: Use an insecticidal soap powder or multi-purpose garden to check any of these insects.
Brown spots on the leaves
Symptom: black or brown spots develop on the leaves of the plant and begin to fall off the plant. The plant can also produce fruits with a tanned appearance.
Cause: the first blight is a fungus that survives over winter on old vines left on the floor of the garden. Cleaning old vines of the previous season, rotating crops, and plant spacing correctly to allow good air circulation are good first steps to avoid this problem.
Remedy: preventive measures should be considered before, IE. crop rotation and cleaning up debris from previous growing seasons. If you suspect that your plants have early blight, remove all foliage and stems and discard in trash. Do not add vegetable debris in your compost pile. A multipurpose powder garden can sometimes be effective in controlling the disease, if caught early.
Brown, dried leaves, paper
Symptom: Patch dampened with water appear on pages that run in the final Brown, dry and papery. Fruit and stems may also be soiled or have blackened areas.
Cause: downy mildew is caused by a fungus that is favoured by rainy weather and whose spores can travel great distances and infect large areas.
Remedy: downy mildew can be prevented or controlled in a manner similar to early Blight as described above. If the area is severely infected, removing all trash disposal plants and may be the only solution.
Large sections of the suddenly withered leaves and stems
Symptom: causes of Fusarium Wilt leaves on a branch of an infected plant wilt and turn yellow. Verticillium wilt's first appearance as yellowing between the large veins on mature leaves.
Cause: Both wilts are caused by a fungal infestation. The fungus is inherent in the plant and is not caused or affected by external sources, such as weather or care.
Remedy: Unfortunately there is no treatment for a plant infected with Fusarium and Verticillium Wilts. It spread rapidly through the plant and finally kill him. The best remedy is to dispose quickly of the entire plant in the trash. Do not add your pile of debris. To reduce the risk of wilting reappear in the future, seeds or seedlings must be chosen carefully. Many varieties are resistant to wilt and even if it does not guarantee that does not occur, limiting the risk.
