Frequently Asked Questions

What pest or disease is most likely on Solanum lycopersicum (cherry/tomato type), and how do I manage it?

Watch for early blight (brown concentric spots on older leaves) and leaf-curling from tomato hornworm or aphids. Remove and destroy heavily spotted lower leaves, then spray with a copper-based fungicide if new spots appear; for hornworms, hand-pick in the evening and spot-treat with Bt if needed. Keep foliage dry by watering at the soil line and increase airflow with wider spacing to slow reinfection.

How can I tell when Solanum lycopersicum is ready to harvest (around 60 days)?

Harvest when fruits are fully colored for the variety (no green shoulders) and the skin is glossy and firm but slightly soft when gently squeezed. Pick cherry tomatoes at peak ripeness; they should taste sweet and develop fully colored seeds inside rather than still-looking pale gel. If temperatures spike, check plants every 1–2 days to catch overripe fruit before cracking.
