Need help identifying this disease!

June 14, 2012

I am brand new to this forum, so I hope I am doing this right!

I planted 35 varieties of tomatoes, but I've never seen this on tomatoes before. The photos are in my photo album at
http://www.tomatoville.com/album.php?u=10383.
The problem started with my Yellow Brandywine --I planted 6 and 5 of them have this disease/fungus/blight?? Three have died already, now 2 more have it, along with a Big Boy in the next row and a Mr. Stripey in another row. I have been spraying for the past 2 weeks with a copper solution (can't remember the name) but it did nothing for them. I took the infected leaves to my local Co-op this morning and the guy said he isn't sure but it looks like "southern blight", and that if they don't respond to a few rounds of Mancozeb, I'd might as well pull them up because all of them will die.
Sounds a little rash.
hahaha

Anybody have any ideas?
