Saves from the late blight: the best fertilizer to improve tomatoes

Late blight is one of the most common diseases of tomatoes, which can lead to significant yield loss. It is important to take preventive measures and fertilize them properly, to protect your plants from this disease.

There are many methods of fertilizing tomatoes and controlling late blight. However, not all of them bring the desired result, so the Good News publication shared a method that will allow you to forget about this fungal disease.

Surely, if you have grown tomatoes, you have encountered brown spots with a white or gray coating on the leaves. This means that a late blight has infected your plant and you may soon lose your crop.

The most common cause of this disease is a lack of nutrients. If the soil is not sufficiently fertilized, the plant does not receive enough micronutrients for the immune system to be able to fight infections.

Of course, there are ways to fight late blight when it has already appeared, but it is better to take measures to prevent this unpleasant disease.

Ash

To improve the condition of the plant, and strengthen its immunity and resistance to diseases, you can use ash. For it to work best, sprinkle it between the rows a week after planting the tomatoes.

When the fruits begin to set, you need to do this procedure again. In this case, your crop will be protected from late blight and other diseases.

Tomato planting pattern

Another common cause of late blight is an incorrect tomato planting pattern. If the bushes are too close to each other, it is much easier for the fungus to spread. Therefore, before planting a crop, it is worthwhile to study all its features in detail and follow the advice of experts.
