    We have been fighting tomato cladosporiosis for several years. The harvest is poor, most of the tomatoes can be harvested (they are not affected), but there are a lot of spoiled ones. I heard that it is useless to apply spraying or any other methods of treatment, since the pathogen remains in the ground for many years. Is it so?

    For many years it has not been possible to protect tomatoes from late blight. I tried to process both Ridomil and HOM - it does not help. As a physician, I know that fungal infections are afraid of acid. Maybe you can spray the diseased bushes with a vinegar solution? If so, how do you do it?

      - I do not recommend using vinegar in the fight against late blight: it is a rather aggressive agent that can destroy plants. And there are no other remedies that could completely cure the disease. Therefore, do not wait for the first signs of late blight to appear, but regularly treat the plantings with drugs against the disease or folk remedies. The first time is usually sprayed with preparations of contact action no later than 14 days after planting the seedlings.

      Then the bushes are treated with fungicides or biologicals every two weeks. Chemicals to combat late blight are no longer used 3 weeks before the expected harvest. At this time, you can use Eco-sil (15 drops per 3 liters of water), a solution of skim milk (100 ml per 1 liter of water) with the addition of one or two drops of iodine, a solution of milk whey (1 liters per 5 liters of water) with adding 10 tsp. iodine. In addition, Furacilin (1 tablets per 10 liters of water), as well as Trichopolum, Metronidazole (10 tablet per 1 liter of water) are popular among gardeners.

        I perfectly understand your concern about cladosporiosis in greenhouse tomatoes, because I have been trying to cope with this problem for many years in the same way. And in the same way, I went the only way that experts advise - I found varieties resistant to this disease on the Internet.
        I went to the seed store with the list and was so glad that there were as many as eight varieties! Of these, three varieties of tomatoes passed the test perfectly: Eupator, Raspberry Elephant and Ural-Super.

        Unfortunately, you do not write which varieties of tomatoes, according to your results, have confirmed their resistance to cladosporiosis. But now I will still look for them further, because there is no other way.
