Frequently Asked Questions
What pest or disease most often affects Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) and what should I do?
Tomatoes commonly suffer from early blight (Alternaria), which shows up as brown, concentric rings on older leaves. Remove and discard infected leaves, then spray with a labeled fungicide suitable for tomatoes if the disease is spreading, especially during humid weather. Improve airflow by pruning for open growth and water at the soil line so foliage stays dry.
How can I tell when Solanum lycopersicum is ready to harvest at about 80 days?
Harvest when fruits are fully colored for the variety (golden/yellow-orange), firm but not hard, and they easily detach when gently twisted. If the fruit still has green shoulders or the color hasn’t developed evenly, wait a few more days. Don’t pull—support the cluster and twist the stem at the fruit for the cleanest break.
