Late blight is a disease that is very dangerous for the nightshade and can completely destroy the entire tomato crop. The fight against late blight has been going on for many years, just as much as people cultivate this crop.
Agrotechnics and breeders are constantly working to find ways to get rid of this fungal disease forever. There are many not only chemical methods of dealing with this microscopic fungus, but also folk remedies. As a result of selection, varieties resistant to late blight appeared. Let us tell you which tomatoes do not suffer from late blight, we will show a photo with the names of the seeds of the best varieties for Bashkiria, the Moscow region, the Leningrad region.
Danger of phytophtora
Phytophthora infects leaves, the fruits of plants of the family of nightshade, brown spots appear on them. The fungus infects all plants very quickly under favorable conditions.
As for the fruits of tomato, when infected with blight, a gray compaction appears on it, which over time spreads to the whole fruit strongly, deforming it, and the smell of the tomato becomes unpleasant, putrid.
Attention! To determine the appearance of fungus on the plant at the first stage is very difficult. Carefully inspect the inside of the leaves of the tomato and if it has a gray powdery coating, then it’s time to start the fight.
The danger of phytophtora for any plant is that the spores are very tenacious and quickly adapt to chemicals. As a result, it may happen that none of the drugs will help in the fight against the disease, and the crop dies completely.
Spores of phytophtoras can be stored in the ground, in the construction of a greenhouse, in garden equipment. Disputes can begin to thrive and grow when:
- lowering the temperature in summer;
- poor plant ventilation;
- high humidity;
- the introduction of a large amount of nitrogen as fertilizer;
- excessive watering.
Tomatoes that do not have this disease - is it true or myth?
It should immediately be said that there is no such culture that is completely resistant to gray rot. But there are hybrids that are obtained by breeding and have maximum resistance to the phytophthora.
Besides if you plant early varieties of tomatoes, you can avoid infection with fungus, as it develops in warm, humid conditions, which come from the end of July. Therefore, it is better to choose varieties that quickly and unanimously yield a crop before this time.
Consider what types of tomatoes are ways to successfully resist the disease.
