Spots on leaves

[Mudman]

What is this? It is very early for me to have any problems here. Only about 2 weeks from plant out and sprayed with Daconil last week. Not too rainy or humid either.

Looks like early blight to me. Lorri D

From the description on this thread it sounds more like Bacterial Speck but I can't be sure. It really confuses me that something like this is on my plants so early and without weather conditions that usually accompany it. It is not just on bottom leaves, it is throughout the plant. Hopefully if I keep up the spraying it will not become a huge problem, but it started so early I can't be sure.

Could be, and you both live in the same state and are probably prone to the same diseases. I was thinking the spots were too big to be a bacterial speck or spot. I am prone to early and late blights in my area. I googled some pictures and I can find matches for both. So, I am not much help. Good luck!

They are in the ground in my garden. I have fed them once with fish emulsion. Same as every other year. I have had problems in the past with Septoria, but never this early.

i know in my area it was warmer this winter... maybe it was warm enough to get the septoria spores moving earlier i dunno... is this the same tomato plant that u grew with fish emulsion in the past?

[Mudman]

Yep, nothing different this year.

neem oil is safe to use every week and its a fungi stat

Definitely ruling out Septoria. It looks much different than the Septoria I have dealt with the last couple of years. Whether it is EB or BS, is there anything else I should do besides spraying and removing diseased foliage?

looks to me like a calcium deficiency thats y i asked if u were ferting the same as u do every year...

What have you tried so far? Neem, copper, milk, baking soda, serenade.

Also, I have read that asprin in water can help strengthen a plant's resistance to disease and help them to fight it off. Sounds weird, I've never tried it, but if the plant is dying, it couldn't hurt. It was like a 1/3 reg strenght asprin per lt of water.

willow water is what your talking about"aspirin in water".... good for rooting... y am i the only one that thinks that looks like a deficiency?

u didn't spray the sucker and put it outside did ya?
