Bacterial Speck

Salty_Dog · November 30, 2009

3 of my plants seem to have this Bacterial Speck on the lower leafs.
The 3 plants are also next to each other, and the spread of the disease seems to be more concentrated in the first plant, then less and less in the adjacent plants until the 4th plant in the row has none.
We also just had a spell of cooler rainy conditions.... if that helps in the diagnoses?

This is exactly what it looks like.

I have read Copper Spray can help this???
I have been told by a Tomato Growing friend just to get some Tomato Dust

aka

Mmmmmm i see the Tomato Dust has Copper as a list ingredient.

Seems that is the answer then.
Is there any chance this kind of disease can travel from plant to plant via other means, ie. insect? Should i move the infected plants?

All are in containers, so moving is easy.

Many Thanks
