Topic: spots on tomato leaves

[staris]

one of my tomato's has got dark looking spots on some of the leaves, it's only on the one plant and only affecting a couple of the big leaves about halfway up the plant, and ideas as to what it is  :)

Take them off............it might be the start of something and maybe not.

Removing them will reduce the risk.

Be careful when you do in case their are spores on it that will tranfer to other leaves/plants.

Do not compost the leaves.

Then its fingers crossed that their is nothing wrong with your plants!

i'll go down in the morning and take off the affected leaves, this growing your own is a lot more trouble than i thought  :)

i've had a look of a few pics of Septoria Leaf Spot and it does look very similar to what i've got if it is this is it sufficient to just cut off the affected leaves or is there something else i should be doing.

Its a form of blight so there must be some form of treatment, the first being to remove the infected leaves ASP.
Perhaps some one else may recomend something other than that the only option is to do a search.

well i've cut off the affected leaves and i'm going to spray them with Bordeaux Mixture to see if that helps.
