Early blight and daconil

augiedog55 · April 25, 2012

I bought a 4th of july hybred about a month ago. I have it in a container and today when I got home it looks like it might have early blight.

The plant looked great and had 10 tomatoes on it

I've got 23 heirlooms coming in a week and ready to plant. If my fisrt plant has early blight would it be smart for me to just pull this plant now and not have it around when my other plants get here? I would rather lose one tomato plant than to lose my new ones. I was just reading that daconil will not help once the plant is infected with early blight. So how soon can I use daconil on my newplants as a preventative? How often do reapply after the first application. Its always something

Thanks in advance
Bruce
