Late blight?

[maf]

I agree with you totally. They could potentially carry a virus or viroid that could make the jump to tomato, or indeed other pathogens. I believe they were brought in in the dormant season, without leaves, so chances of spreading foliage diseases is low.

The sad thing is that the goji plants were not even imported direct to the UK. They were mistakenly approved in the Netherlands, and then made their way to us from there, as there are no restrictions on live plant movement within the EU.

I know (or encountered) late blight (caused by Phytophthora infestans) as a potato disease when gardening in Denmark. The name(s) also suggest so: Polish zaraza ziemniaczana (potato infection) Czech plíseň bramborová (potato mold) Danish kartoffelskimmel (same) German (unrelated) Kraut- und Braunfäule(in tomatoes) or Kraut- und Knollenfäule (in potatoes). This year late blight has killed most of my tomates (especially Polish varieties and the ones I bought from Baker Creek, Mariseeds and Wild Boar Farms), and it may still hit the tomatoes I have from trades and Carolyn's free offer.

GunnarSK, sad to hear of your losses to blight. My neighbours tell me Poland has had a very wet summer this year, unfortunately making ideal conditions for Phytophthora infestans. Luckily my own infection has so far been limited to the three plants I already removed.

I ordered eight varieties from Wild Boar Farms recently, so was interested to hear of your experience with their strains; did any of them seem more or less susceptible to late blight? Just trying to work out which ones to grow outdoors next year and which in the greenhouse.

I got Pink Berkeley Tie Dye, Berkeley Tie Dye Heart, Red Boar and Porkchop from WBF, but all died and I wasn't able to tell if any held out longer than the others. If I'm lucky, I'll have a greenhouse before next season, so I will also be able to compare growing conditions in it and outside. I also have Brad's Black Heart, and I have spare seeds for all WBF varieties and will grow them again next year.

Bonjour.

Il est nécessaire de savoir que le mildiou est présent dans la terre . Il se développe lorsque le climat est humide pendant plusieurs jours . Le mildiou déteste les températures élevées et il se développe rarement dans une serre .

J'ai essayé cette année d'un traitement à base d' infusion de feuilles de sauge , mais aussi avec de l'huile essentielle de romarin .

De bons résultats dans son ensemble avec les pulvérisations uniformes et avant l'arrivée de la pluie .

A bientôt .

Good morning.

It is necessary to know that mildew is present in the earth. It develops when the climate is wet for several days. Mildew hate high temperatures and it rarely develops in a greenhouse.

I tried this year treatment with infusion of sage leaves, but also with the essential oil of rosemary.

Good results as a whole with uniform spraying and before the arrival of rain.

(See you) soon.

Thanks Francis and Mischka.

That is what I like about the French - even the blight spray would smell and taste good.......mmmmm... sage and rosemary.

Je vous remercie de votre message. Je suis certain que la plupart des
gens ici savent comment faire un "Google Translate", mais certains ne peuvent pas,
ni de prendre soins de l'effort. puisque vous êtes sur un site Yankee, Yankee peut
être un meilleur langage à utiliser .. Juste une suggestion.

Thank you for your post. I am certain that most people here know how to do a
"Google translate", but some may not, nor care to take the effort.
Since you are on a Yankee site, Yankee might be a better language to use...
