Preventing Tomato Blight: Keep Your Tomatoes Healthy 🍅
Tomato blight can devastate tomato plants. Here’s how to prevent it:
1. Proper Spacing: Ensure good air circulation by spacing plants appropriately.
2. Mulching: Mulch to prevent soil-borne pathogens from splashing onto plants.
3. Watering Techniques: Water at the base of plants to keep foliage dry.
4. Pruning: Prune lower leaves to improve air circulation and reduce disease risk.
5. Resistant Varieties: Plant blight-resistant tomato varieties.
Tips:
- Rotate tomato crops yearly to prevent soil-borne diseases.
- Regularly inspect plants for early signs of blight and remove infected parts.
- Avoid overhead watering, which can spread blight spores.
