How to Identify Tomato FUSARIUM WILT (and what to do next) || Black Gumbo

[@MariaInSoFla]

Thanks so much for showing Fusarium Wilt. I'm eager to learn about more about diseases and what to do for them. So sorry you lost some tomatoes!

[@WILLITGROW]

that was great info i did not know about this great stuff..gotta love the hybrids

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

I had that happen a couple of years ago, I lost quite a few plants, it’s a hard blow to take!

[@charlenejutras1595]

I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you for sharing.

[@CMDRSloma]

Excellent instructional video, I learned a lot. Thank you.

[@GeorgiasGarden]

Perfect timing as I’m in my garden. Amish paste never do well for me in Texas. Your tomatoes are SO much bigger than mine. I’m way north by the Oklahoma border.

[@thedirtygardener]

My Amish Paste didn’t do well, either. But my Jersey Devil plants are exploding! I’m in the same area as Scott so JD can take the heat and humidity of our springs.

[@BecomingaGreenstalker]

Thanks for explaining. I always wondered what that was.

[@amyschultz8058]

Great information. I'm sorry you lost the plant though. Something like that would devastate our tomatoes because we grow heirlooms but great to know that we could switch to hybrid. Your other tomatoes look amazing. We're just now starting to plant here , after this video I'll pay close attention. I appreciate it

[@kath-phlox]

Thanks Scott, I never heard of that before.

[@elisabetk2595]

That is the first video I've seen that tells you how to definitively identify fusarium. I think that what's wrong with my Paul Robeson (other plants, both heirloom and hybrid, look fine).

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

I had fusarium wilt in my soil 20 years ago, and I stopped growing tomatoes in the soil and switched to pots only. For about 10 years I just used bagged potting soil and washed the pots at the end of the season with dilute bleach. There are other plants like beans & cucurbits that get fusarium as well, so don't plant those in that soil. I now work hard to improve the soil microbiome with worms and biochar and compost, and haven't seen the wilt come back. 💚

[@teresathomley3703]

Thanks for the information- good video as always.

[@debraroberts1496]

Great information 🌻

[@mckeep3]

I followed the instructions on fermenting cabbage; it was fantastic.

[@mckeep3]

Wow, I enjoy all your channels and save your videos. I will visit your Amazon store.

[@toyfruit8065]

I've been wondering if this is the problem on one of my tomatoes that's been looking wilty ever since it got humid. It does have the darker areas on the stem. I just kept thinking, well I'll bump it up again, or see if it lives long enough to put in the ground, but this video is a wake up call. If yours were put in the ground and never got better, i need to stop my wishful thinking and not waste my soil. :(

[@melissakarner6707]

I have two plants that may have that. Thanks for showing the good and the not so good. Not many gardeners show us the not so good. Thx!

[@barbkenas5663]

Good to know! 🍅🍅🍅

[@shiraellisman2281]

Thanks for this very informative video. I am north of Houston & haven’t had an issue with Amish Paste (they are actually one of my best producers!) but have had a wilt issue this year in a localized area. I pulled a jalapeño plant & 2 Ukrainian Purple tomato plants. I’m going to check the stem of the UP tonight before I burn it. I haven’t tried this, but a friend who is a large commercial cut flower farmer told me in the industry they often steam soil to kill off diseases/fungal issues that are soil born. With our TX humidity & heat I wonder if solarizing could yield a similar result.

[@LindaERyanArt]

Thanks!

[@ScottHead]

Thanks so much, very much appreciated!

[@dawnclayberger688]

Great information. Thanks Scott.

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

Good video, very informative. Helpful. Please don't forget get to sterilise your pocket knife

[@thedirtygardener]

My first year with EDOX was a fail but I tried it again thanks to your recommendation. Having great success this year. Thank you for recommending.

[@ScottHead]

Mine tend to do really well even in the summer.

[@mgunter9929]

Thank you for the information plus sharing the sadness of losing the plant. Sometimes people are just get rid of it. 😢 Which yeah it has to be done but it's sad.

[@robertmoore661]

Your single seed change looks Great.

[@ScottHead]

Thanks!

[@robertawestbrooks9531]

Thank you sharing 🎉🎉❤❤

[@annienewman8312]

i had issues last year because we had a cool and wet summer.

[@ralph601]

Hi. I have not had that problem but will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the information. It is getting hotter here in Corpus and was wondering when would be the best time to put out shade cloth and what percentage you recommend for tomatoes. Thanks. Have a great night.

[@KathyStratmann]

I was wandering same ! I am near Victoria Tx .

[@ScottHead]

I don’t use shade cloth so I can’t really speak about it with authority. Sorry.

[@ralph601]

@@ScottHead Ok. Thanks.

[@mikereedy51]

Hi what do u use to make soil for tubs love your channel

[@adigmon]

I just pulled a cherry tomato plant out of a pot today. You’re right…at least I have more! Mine got black spot on the leaves and started turning yellow. What do you think it was?

[@ScottHead]

I’d have to see it but likely some sort of blight.

[@adigmon]

@@ScottHead is blight caused from the soil? It started with all of these crazy storms and rain. I’m not too far from where you are.

[@celerybliss1711]

Hi. Garlic kills bad fungus, but not good fungus. Try using fresh garlic water or garlic powder on your soil.

[@lcm0578]

How frustrating and disappointing! Thanks for showing and explaining! The rest are stunning! I'm still waiting for warmth to come to my garden.

[@gretaknebel8495]

I’m having trouble with most of my tomato plants this year. Not sure what’s wrong but, I’ll keep trying. Hornworms attacked 3 of my plants and I was able to kill them.

[@sonofyhwh423]

Good Day Why woukd you compost it if it has Fungus ?

[@poorwotan]

Just IDed this on my tomatoes. First time grower... yeah... Anyways, with Google lens I saw what it was. No treatment really so I know what to do. :( Question was actually hypothetical: if this fungus lives in the soil, could one take a good chunk out of the root area zone and microwave it to sterilize?

[@metalrabbit09]

Have you tried solarizing the soil to manage pests and diseases? Did you find it effective?

[@ScottHead]

I’ve done something similar. It helps knock back weeds very well.

[@southernyankeeprepper]

Ive lost 4 or 5 beefsteak tomato plants in the last 2 months up till today! This is my first year gardening and i could never find any definite information on this, and youe video is as close to what happened to my plants that i have seen. So my question is if theres no cure or prevention for this what are other options? Replace the soil in my tomato bed for next round of plants? Plant something else? I read on a tomato forum a small ratio of bleach to gallon of water and spray around the infected stems and around the soil could possibly slow down thr spread of this, just cant over due the bleach or itll kill good microbes and the plants itself.. Or maybe digging thr top few inches of soil off the top and top dressing the bed with new manure maybe?

[@elsiecain7859]

I don't see your Amazon link

[@sigrid2402]

Would cinnamon help?

[@ScottHead]

Never heard anything like that.

[@elsiecain7859]

Can I plant squash in that soil?

[@ScottHead]

Yes!

[@darylleonard8639]

This is off-topic, but here goes, I need help! My tomatoes have reddish orange bugs eating the tomatoes. I have killed 10 or 20 over the last week. I have tried Neem oil with no success and 7 dust. Same results. What is your suggestion? Please reply.

[@ScottHead]

I suggest a hand held vacuum to suck them up. They sound like leaf footed bug nymphs. They will becom larger and brown and able to fly. Best to get them now.

[@pingwin466]

remove them plant some determinates to get something faster had a few that were paste bella rosa plum indeterminates in florida that couldn't take it

[@Kat-mh5kj]

I wonder why you don't have raised beds? Everyone seems to love growing in them

[@scottstephenson9597]

You need to mow your grass.
