These diseases originate in pathogens present in the soil, sometimes latent, which attack the tomato plants when certain climatic conditions occur, seriously compromising the vegetative cycle.  For example, an attack of downy mildew occurs easily in a wet and rainy season, and is capable of destroying an entire tomato field in a few days.  Predict the exact occurrence of the onset of a fungal disease is very difficult.

In practical terms, it is not possible <u>plant tomatoes<\/u> always in the same plot of land as the garden.  This is because, as mentioned, mushrooms are kept in the ground, even for many years.  So if they find the root systems and vegetation available in the immediate vicinity, they have great ease in attacking the plant and causing the disease to arise.<br \/> In addition to the rotation, it is necessary to take care of the hygiene of the field.  For example, if our tomatoes have fallen ill in a year, the infected crop residues must be eliminated, removing them from the field and possibly burning them.  Leaving the diseased residues on the field will only feed the proliferation of mushrooms in the following seasons as well.<br \/> Once these two fundamental aspects have been established, it is necessary to carry out <u>prevention with treatments allowed in organic farming<\/u>.  The classic product that is used for <u>prevention of cryptogamic diseases is copper<\/u>, which however has limitations such as excessive accumulation of metal in the ground.  In recent years, more innovative and environmentally friendly, as well as very effective, products have become established.  On all we point out the <u>micronized zeolite, i.e. a fine rock powder of volcanic origin<\/u>.  By spraying the tomato plants with zeolite at regular intervals, we will create a protective patina against fungal pathogens, safeguarding the health of the plants and preventing them from getting sick. <u>You can find a selection of zeolite-based products here<\/u>.<br \/> In the family garden let&#8217;s not forget the possibility of <u>use natural macerates<\/u>always in prevention.

These are problems due to structural lack of nutrients in the soil or poor cultivation conditions.  The most common and feared tomato disease is <u>apical rot<\/u>or that problem which determines the<u>blackening of the underside of the berries<\/u>.  This problem, in short, is due to calcium deficiencies in the soil and poor irrigation practice.<br \/> Other common problems of this type are: the <u>peel scalding<\/u>the <u>curled leaves<\/u> and the <u>cracking of the peel<\/u>.<br \/> To avoid these plant diseases or stress, the organic farmer must intervene on cultivation practices, ensuring the best possible growth conditions for his plants.<\/p><div id=\"forum-3413861294\" class=\"forum-content-3 forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>How to prevent diseases and stress<\/h2>\n<p>The first thing to do to prevent disease and stress problems in tomato plants is proper planting <u>land preparation<\/u>.  The tomato, in fact, needs a loose soil, well worked to deepen the root system, well draining to avoid water stagnation.  The soil must therefore be worked with care and in good time, for example <u>making a dig<\/u>.  Furthermore, tomatoes need many nutrients to face their crop cycle. <u>Fertilize tomatoes<\/u> in the right way it therefore becomes fundamental for the success of cultivation.  The <u>mature manure<\/u> is the classic organic fertilizer that should be used, but alternatively you can also use the<u>earthworm humus<\/u> or the <u>home compost<\/u>.  With fertilization it is possible to integrate those elements that are missing and which cause plant diseases such as apical rot.  An excellent example of this is the <u>lithothamnium<\/u>a natural seaweed powder that supplements the calcium deficiencies present in the soil (<u>you can buy it here<\/u>).<br \/> In the prevention of tomato stress, correct irrigation is also essential.  For <u>water the tomatoes<\/u> in the right way it is necessary to be balanced.  The general rule is to water little and often, without soaking the soil, but not leaving it completely dry either.  To optimize the irrigation practice, the drip system is to be preferred and not the flowing or rain systems.<br \/> Finally, to prevent the tomatoes from getting sick, it is advisable to follow the correct cultural practices.  For example, many have the bad habit of removing tomato leaves, believing they are benefiting the plant.  In reality this greatly stresses the crop and above all exposes the berries to sunburn. <u>Tomatoes need to be trimmed carefully<\/u> and the leaves left to perform their protective function and to transmit the sap of the plant.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ezoic-autoinsert-video ezoic-longer_content\"><\/span><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-640x360-999994-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-640x360-999994-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-426x240-999994-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-426x240-999994-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-384x216-999994-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longer_content-384x216-999994-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"penci-ilrltpost-insert\">\n<div class=\"penci-ilrelated-posts pcilrt-list pcilrt-none pcilrt-col-2\">\n<div class=\"pcilrp-heading pcilrph-align-left\"> <span>Insights<\/span><\/div>\n<ul class=\"pcilrp-content\">\n<li class=\"pcilrp-item pcilrp-item-list\">  The main diseases of peach.

The tomato, in general, is a rustic crop rather resistant to insects, but with some exceptions, or parasites that mainly affect the ripening berries, causing their loss in whole or in part.<br \/> Among these parasites the most aggressive on tomatoes are: the <u>nocturnal<\/u>the <u>absolute suit<\/u> and the <u>bed bugs<\/u>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get rid of tomato pests<\/h2>\n<p>To eliminate the parasites of the tomato, the organic farmer has various means of defense available.<br \/> Against the lepidoptera (tuta and nottua) it is possible to intervene on several levels.  Primarily with the <u>pheromone traps<\/u>for mass capture.  Then with the <u>bio-insecticide bacillus thuringiensis var.  kurstaki<\/u>, effective against the larval stages (caterpillars) of butterflies.  A selection of products based on bacillus thuringiensis <u>you can find it in specialized shops<\/u>.<br \/> Against harmful bed bugs instead, the treatment should be done when the insects are at home <u>nymph stage<\/u>, i.e. when they are not fully developed yet, they have a thinner cuticle and above all they are found in groups on the plants.  The most effective organic product that can be used is the <u>potassium soft soap<\/u>(you can find them here <u>a selection<\/u>).<br \/> To be effective, organic treatments must be done in time, at the first signs of infestation and possibly repeated at regular intervals.  So constantly monitor your tomato plants for early insects and take early action.  Another piece of advice we give is to uniformly wet the vegetation, preferably in the evening to increase the wetting time and persistence of the treatment.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ezoic-autoinsert-video ezoic-longest_content\"><\/span><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longest_content-640x360-999993-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longest_content-640x360-999993-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longest_content-426x240-999993-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longest_content-426x240-999993-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longest_content-384x216-999993-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-longest_content-384x216-999993-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"penci-custom-html-inside-content\"><!-- Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph --> <!-- End Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph --><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Conclusions<\/h2>\n<p>As we have seen, the causes that make tomatoes sick are many and of various nature.
