At first I thought you might have gray mold as I can see some stem lesions or I think I can. Since you have been getting a lot of rain then either or both could be present; but I have never had gray mold attack a Donskoi plant but they are sure susceptible to EB. That is the reason I wanted to know what varieties you were having the problems on. Usually gray mold attacks black or GWR varieties and will only rarely spread to most other varieties. I have always mixed my black tomatoes in among the pinks and reds and have only seen it spread very mildly to other varieties in the worst conditions.
If that is EB it is more severe than any cases I have ever experienced. You could have several things going on at once and if you have had really heavy rain that will only worsen the problems. If rain is forecast soon then you need to remove the bad foliage and spray with a copper spray as it sticks fairly good unless the rain is very heavy. Sometimes when there is a lot of rain all you can do is hang on and hope it ends before it is too late for the plants. Bill |
