| Can any of you diagnose the problem with my tomatoes? They are fine when they are green but but turn into this as they go from green to yellow to red. Someone suggested end rot but I thought end rot starts at the bottom of the tomato not at the top. |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| The orangish one at the top has a little cracking around the stem but otherwise looks okay. The other two look truly strange. Perhaps virus? Can you post a side view of the two? |
|
| Definitely not BER. They look like have not received much nutrients from the plant for a long time. A picture of the plant might provide a clue. |
|
| Looks like mostly environmental damage. I get a little of the concentric scarring from time to time but nothing like that. I know Nebraska is in a drought, what about Kansas? Possibly some sunscald also? |

| In your picture, notice the lower right one where I see lesions in circles. Knowing that I'm going to give you two suggestions, but since you said nothing about any other symptoms such as leaf lesions, lesions on stems, these are just suggestions, and maybe you can share with us if there are any other symptoms we should know about. First is Buckeye Rot, linked to at the very bottom and if you read some of the links you'll also see pictures other than those shown with this Google link. The second suggestion is Late Blight ( P. infestans), and I don't if it's present in KS. http://www.longislandhort.cornell.edu/vegpath/photos/lateblight_tomato.htm The link above is one of the best I know for Late Blight. But the fungal disease Grey Mold can also mimic LB, so you might was to take a look at that as well since Grey Mold is present almost everywhere if the weather conditions are right. And it really would help if there are other symptoms we should know about. Carolyn |
