Tomato Problems, Diseases, and Pests


Gardening in the Mountains presents:
Tomato Problems, Diseases, and Pests

Phil Roudebush, EMGV

Tomatoes are one of the most common vegetables found in home gardens but growing them in Western North Carolina can often be challenging. Both biotic (living organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and insects) diseases and abiotic (non-living factors such as garden location, soil, moisture, and nutrition) problems can affect tomatoes at all levels of maturity. In this video, Phil brings his extensive experience in maintaining large vegetable gardens to a discussion of the most common tomato problems, diseases, and pests.
