Late Blight Identified

(Updated: Oct. 23, 2024, 5:11 a.m.)
Late blight on green tomatoes.
Late blight on tomato has been confirmed from a commercial tomato field in Haywood County, NC on August 17, 2022.   This is a serious issue for our tomato crop if it finds its way to Catawba, and worthy of precautions and scouting.


The link below by Dr. Inga Meadows (NCSU) will give you important information for protecting your crop.   If you think you see the disease on your tomatoes, please call, and I will come to your location for a sample for confirmation ASAP.
