Bacterial Speck?

[jeffsui]

I'm trying to identify whats wrong with my sun gold tomatoes. I just planted them two weeks ago.

from this page: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/v...solver/leaves/

it looks like I might have Bacterial Speck ...? What should I do with them?

Welcome, Jeff- I don't have experience with that problem but maybe someone else can help.

I'm a new grower too and I don't have an answer but I'll be watching this thread because I have a plant I suspect to be infected with bacterial speck as well.

Before the necrosis, did the spots start out as translucent spots uniformly distributed? On mine, that's how it looks and it's really only visible in full sun. The spots are just not starting to turn into tiny rusty colored necrotic spots.

I got the exact same spots on some of my Cherokee Purple tomatoes. I'm treating it as bacteria speck using a copper fungicide.

Wow that looks bad. You are so early into the season that I would just pull out everything and start over. I would also spray the area with peroxide just as a precaution after you yank the plants.

So I actually cut all the bad leaves off and everything now is seeming fine. I guess maybe it was somethign they got from shipping or something like that.

hi, jeffsui,

i'd still take a few of those leafs to the closest lab and checked what it was.
and if you don't have a possibility to do so than i would pull them out and disinfect the soil, since it appears like Bacterial canker very very much.
