Azoychka Diseased between each main stem

keithaxis · July 30, 2007

I looked at the disease pictures but did not see anything like this. I do not have a picture yet (can take one tonight) but I will try to explain.

I have 50 tomato plants and there is ONE that is doing something odd. The Azoychka plant has a blackish kindof rot inbetween a lot of the main branches. It is right where the branch/leaf connect to the main stem. The area where the leaf connects to the main stem. I have been pulling the leafs at this point where the bad areas are. This all happened after 9 straight days of misty/rainy weather. This is the only plant that is showing this. The stems almost seem soft where this is happening also. Do I yank this plant, It has like 7 good sized fruit still green? I am very concerned that this may affect the neighboring plants, Brandwine Suddath and Earl's faux...

Basically where this is happening on Azoychka is at many areas of the main stem where the leaf connects. The black area is only where the leaf connects and is mabye an inch o less of the black area but it seems to really do bad things to the branch that is connected to it. First time seeing this type of thing where garden..
