    The problem is with tomatoes, or rather, with seedlings. I am 66 years old, all my life since childhood I have been engaged in gardening, I have always grown tomatoes, and they pleased me with good harvests, despite the harsh climate.

    Last year, she sowed the seeds on March 7, after pickling them in potassium permanganate. I took the soil from the garden after the cucumbers, added 1/3 of the purchased one. I did everything as usual. She swooped down into cut-off beer polka dots. Until April 10, the seedlings were strong, healthy, and suddenly the green leaves began to fall off, and more and more every day. A grayish-whitish bloom appeared on the stems.
    We do not have specialized stores, once a week visiting sellers sell everything, including seeds, they advised to treat the seedlings with a fungicide.
    Diluted, sprayed, repeated a day later. The result is zero.
    I started looking for information on the Internet. I re-read everything, but according to the descriptions nothing coincided with my situation. It may be bacterial wilting or white rot. A week later, only the tops remained of my tomatoes, and even those had a very unhealthy, withering look.
    She pulled out one plant and examined everything carefully: the roots were normal, no blackness, no pests. The reproach cut the stem - green.
    I threw out all my seedlings and began to collect from friends and neighbors: as much as I collected, I planted as much in the greenhouse. I was looking forward to the spring of 2021 with great impatience. Sowed tomatoes on March 3. Alas, they did not have their own seeds, they were all purchased. I didn't buy the land: I was afraid that it was some kind of infection in it. Everything rose, everything was pleasing to the eye.
    This spring, unlike last year, was sunny and warm. There was enough light for my tomatoes, during the day I took them out onto the veranda. No signs of trouble. The stems are thick, some of the plants are already in bloom.

    But on April 14, all the seedlings fell ill at once: white bloom, fallen leaves. Hands dropped! Everything happened again, but I don't know what to do ...
    One woman, who also has a problem with seedlings for the fourth year, suggested sprinkling with a solution of trichopolum (these tablets can be bought at the pharmacy): 10 tablets of 250 mg per 1 liter of water. I took this advice, because I still throw it away. Some of the seedlings were saved: out of 40 bushes, I left 16, the rest were thrown away. And although the nights were very cold, I planted these 16 bushes in the greenhouse. They stood for a long time, without touching growth, and then began to gain strength. Of course, they lagged behind, on some varieties the leaf hangs, as if it does not have enough water. Fruits were set, but very small.
    What is the reason: in the ground or in the seeds?
