The article provides information about bacterial diseases in tomatoes. Bacterial canker appears on ripe tomatoes as yellow spots. The rims of these yellow specks are black. It may appear to be a hazy spot illness, but the black rims assist distinguish it. A bacterial canker is impossible to cure. Remove and discard your contaminated plant after it has become infested. For a period of two to three years, avoid planting in the same soil. It may be avoided by rotating your crops and removing weeds.

Bacterial Wilt in the South If Southern bacterial wilt strikes, it may wreak havoc in your tomato garden. The illness is propagating through the soil at an incredible rate. It thrives in high-humidity and high-temperature environments. It might be Southern bacterial wilt if only a few leaves are withering but the rest of the leaves and plant are healthy. Unfortunately, there is no remedy for bacterial wilt in the South. You may avoid this by purchasing only resistant kinds and growing your plant from seeds.
