It would seem I found the culprit now to go spray! I hate to let tomatoes go to waste are they safe to eat?

Found my first case of TSWV since June this morning when watering. I hope it will be an isolated case. It was just starting and I cut off the whole stem in the vain hope of slowing it down on the plant. I always try it but it rarely helps. It was one of my fall plants set out in July and it was looking pretty good with a fair amount of blossoms. Seems to me I mainly get TSWV in the spring and sometimes again in the fall. I guess that must be when thrips are active down here.

I have now had 3 cases of TSWV this fall and have pulled them all. I guess the thrips are moving around again.

Just a heads up that the SouthEast is having a massive outbreak of tomato spotted wilt this year. It seems to be a result of a warmer than normal winter and wetter than normal spring.

Definitely battling TSWV here in SE North Carolina this year. I have pulled appox 15 plants thus far to include both of my ARGG, Amazon Chocolate, Anna Russian, Lucky Cross, 2 German Johnsons (I really can't get these things to work), Cherokee Green, Kimberley, Black and Brown Boar and a Paul Robeson. Somewhat my fault as I was slow to properly diagnose as I thought the black spotting was a fungus. I really need to bone up on my disease knowledge.

I was also reading about thrips recently: this article from Florida is very informative about thrips and TSWV, and results of different treatments in the field:
http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in401 I have been suffering a thrips infestation on pepper plants which are still in the house. ![]() ![]() Has anyone used diatomaceous earth on the soil surface to stop new ones from emerging? Does this help? |

Happens every year - today I lost my first (and hopefully last) plant to TSW - and as usual it is something pretty special - Yellow Ponderosa, from seed saved in 1995 - I got the seed from the USDA. Fortunately I managed to get several up and growing so it is already replaced. It was planted on May 4, and had open blossoms. Looked fine as recently as 2 days ago. Amazing how fast the disease shows up once the plant gets infected.
Weird - plants next to it and across from it are fine. 200 tomato plants. And...boom!....there it was with the characteristic foliage markings.

I lost my first (and only so far) plant to TSWV yesterday - sadly it was the only Druzba I had in the garden with no backup plant in the greenhouse. I replaced it with a Black Krim. The other 84 plants look great (for now).

I just quarantined 2 yesterday w/TSWV! I also have early blight, septoria and a couple of leaf curl viruses... most issues have all appeared within the week! Out of the 380 tomatoes I started, about half suddenly have something wrong. Last year I only had a few cases of blight and nothing else. I guess the lack of a winter here is going to make this year a tough one.
