Topic: Tomato blight

[plot51A]

Devastated to find blight on one of my (outdoor) tomato plants last night. Think the 2 adjacent plants may be affected, but 3 others in same bed look ok so far and the 12 or so plants in my other strip (cross fingers and touch wood) currently look very robust. All setting lots of trusses and was so excited. What should I do? Will spraying help protect other plants? Should I completely remove affected plants now, or just the fruit and leaves with symptoms? Completely new to all this. Have lifted all my early pots and maincrop are the other end of the plot and no signs there so far......
Have looked on the web but most of the information seems more potato related than tomato.
Many thanks in advance!

I just take out affected foliage & hope.

If you allow yourself Bordeaux, then spray two-weekly to delay the spread.

The recommendation over here is 7-10 days for Bordeaux compound. If blight is established then I would go for the shorter interval.

Many thanks both. Will allow myself Bordeaux - off out now to try and get some.

And if it rains before 7 days is up re spray sooner.
