Tomato Problems:

• Lack of flowers: Ensure sufficient sunlight and water supply.
• Flowers not producing fruit: Monitor watering, ensure adequate light, and promote pollination.
• Flower drop due to high temperatures: Provide shade during peak temperatures.
• Low humidity affecting pollination: Increase humidity by misting the plant.

Tomato Pests:

• Monitor plants regularly and dislodge pests like aphids with a strong water stream.
• Handpick larger pests like Tomato Hornworm and drown them in soapy water.
• Use insecticidal soap or horticultural oils to eliminate smaller pests.
• Be cautious with insecticides, as they can harm beneficial insects.

Tomato Diseases:

• Prevention through planting disease-resistant varieties and crop rotation.
• Maintain well-draining soil and consistent watering practices.
• Remove infected plants and avoid composting them.
• Treat soil with solarization to destroy harmful bacteria.

Common Tomato Diseases:

• Blossom-End Rot: Caused by uneven watering leading to dark, sunken spots on the tomato.
• Early Blight: Identifiable by dark spots on lower leaves and stems; improve ventilation and remove infected leaves.
• Late Blight: Recognizable by grey, moldy spots on leaves and fruit, leading to plant destruction.
• Mosaic Virus: Results in distorted leaves and stunted growth; infected plants should be destroyed.
• Fusarium Wilt: Characterized by yellowing and wilting, with affected plants requiring removal.
• Powdery Mildew: Identified by white spots on leaves; management techniques are available.
• Cracking: Caused by uneven watering or moisture fluctuations; maintain consistent moisture levels through proper watering and mulching.
