How to protect tomatoes from late blight: useful tips
Late blight is a common problem for gardeners. This can be prevented.
How to protect tomatoes from late blight
To begin, choose a specific variety of tomatoes. The fact is that some species are resistant to late blight infection.
In addition, plant tomatoes earlier than usual so that despite diseases, you have time to get a harvest.
Remove any infected potato plants.
Don't grow tomatoes and potatoes next to each other in the same place every year.
Good air flow in the garden will help reduce the risk of late blight.
Do not water plants from above. For watering, it is better to use drip irrigation or a hose with water.
Wet foliage increases the risk of late blight.
It is also best to water the plants in the first half of the day so that the leaves have time to dry sufficiently in the sun.
Phytophthora actively spreads in cold and humid weather.
Grow vegetables only in a dry and sunny place.
