Late blight on tomato leaves
Growers should monitor frequently for symptoms of late blight and begin applying systemic fungicides. Tomato and potato are extremely susceptible to this disease and can be significantly defoliated within days if environmental conditions are conducive. Heavy morning dews and cool, wet weather favor this disease. Active scouting and preventive fungicide applications to protect tomato crops in NC from late blight is recommended.
