Watch for Tomato Late Blight

Bob Mulrooney, Extension Plant Pathologist; bobmul@udel.edu

Late blight has not made an appearance in Delaware so far this year. Late summer and fall is when we usually see it on home garden and truck crop tomatoes. For late tomatoes continue with Bravo and/or mancozeb as your protectant fungicide and add a late blight specific fungicide if late blight should occur in the region. See the 2010 Delaware Commercial Vegetable Production Recommendations for products and rates.
