Frequently Asked Questions
What pest or disease is most common for Solanum lycopersicum (tomatoes), and how do I control it?
Tomato early blight (Alternaria) often shows as dark, target-like spots starting on lower leaves and can quickly spread in humid weather. Remove and discard affected leaves, avoid wetting foliage, and apply a labeled fungicide if the problem is recurring in your area—starting as soon as spots appear. Improve airflow by spacing plants and staking so leaves don’t sit on the soil.
How can I tell when Solanum lycopersicum is ready to harvest?
Harvest when fruits reach full color for your type and feel slightly firm but not hard, with a gentle give at the stem. Most tomatoes ripen starting around day 65 from transplant, but timing can shift with temperature and sunlight. Pick regularly when ripe—leaving overripe fruit on the vine can reduce the speed of new fruit ripening.
