Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tomato Diseases in California Treatment - The control of this disease has been thoroughly worked out in Eastern States for potatoes, and the same methods will no doubt prove effective here. Treatment consists in Spraying with Bordeaux mixture; in climates with frequent rains in summer this is done several times at regular intervals, in order to keep the Vines well covered with Spray at all times; In California this would not be necessary. Spray ing should be regulated entirely by the rainfall. If there is no rain there is no danger whatever of winter blight, and no need of spraying.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tomato Production in California Fusarium Wilt - This disease is caused by a fungus living in the soil, which enters the plant through the roots. When the disease once gets into a field, it spreads rapidly in succeeding years. The disease is said to occur in many parts of the state. It usually appears a few weeks after the beginning of hot weather, the lower leaves of aflected plants turn yellow and dry up (fig. The stems, if split open reveal dark brown streaks in the woody portion. The disease advances rapidly and kills the entire plant, or sometimes only one of the main branches. There is no true wilting of the plant, in the ordinary sense of the word, connected with this disease. The control is to grow resistant varieties, of which the Norton seems best at present, though Marvel, an early variety, and Norduke, a late shipping sort, may be desirable under some conditions. These varieties were recently developed by the U. S. Department of Agri culture. Snmmer Blight (western Blight). - This trouble/ occurs very generally in the state and is known by several names. The cause is unknown. The disease usually appears about mid-summer and may gradually involve many plants during the season. Affected plants stop growing, the margins of the leaves roll upward, and the under sides become purplish. The leaves and tips of the stem gradually dry up, and eventually the whole plant dies. No satisfactory control measure can yet be recommended. Root-knot. - This trouble is caused by nematodes - microscopic worms which infest the soil and which enter the roots of tomatoes and many other plants, causing the characteristic swelling of the roots. Affected plants appear stunted and yellowed, and die slowly. The trouble can always be recognized by pulling up the plants and inspecting the roots. Extreme caution should be exercised by growers to prevent the introduction of the disease on vegetable plants or seed potatoes shipped from other sections. When once introduced into the soil, nematodes are very. Difficult to eradicate. Flooding the land for two or three months, thorough drying out of the soil over' summer, summer fallow, and growing resistant crops for two years are prac tices that have been recommended. The small grains, the Iron variety of cowpea, and the velvet bean are some of the crops resistant to nematodes. One Should always be sure that the soil used for plant beds is free from nematodes, for infected beds are often responsible for infecting a field and spreading the trouble.

Download or read book Tomato Diseases Classic Reprint written by G. H. Berkeley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tomato Diseases The grower must realize that a good many of the troubles affecting tomatoes, such as leaf spot, leaf mould, mosaic, wilts etc., may be started in, and spread from, the seed-bed. This means that special care should be taken to protect the small seedlings from becoming infected. TO this end the disinfected seed should be sown in clean or sterilized soil, which should be kept free from weeds. The seed should not be sown too densely, as a crowded seed-bed is more subject to damping-off. Also since a continuous damp surface in the seed-bed is favourable to damping-off it is good practice to have the soil Of the seed-bed covered with alight layer Of sand, so as to ensure a more rapid drying Of the surface soil. Preferably, seedlings should be grown under glass so that on successive cloudy, humid days the excess humidity may be more readily driven off by heat and proper ventilation. This is particularly applicable to the seed lings for the fall greenhouse crop, which are so Often severely attacked by the leaf mould fungus. Seedlings should not be grown in close proximity to weeds or Old plantings of tomatoes, or potatoes. As an added precaution tomato plants should be sprayed with Bordeaux while still in the seed-bed, or plant-bed, and before transplanting to the field or greenhouse. If the above simple measures are faithfully carried out the grower will then start with sound, healthy plants and under sanitary conditions in the field or greenhouse, will have gone a long way in avoiding tomato diseases.

Download or read book The Leaf Spot Disease of Tomato Classic Reprint written by George Herbert Coons and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Leaf-Spot Disease of Tomato If the lower surface is the point of entry the spots are large and may involve one-half or the whole of a leaflet. If the upper surface is the point of entry the spots may be no larger than the head of a pin. Usually the upper leaves Show this latter type of infection, evidently from dust as a source. The lower leaves are infected from beneath, doubtless by splashings from the ground or from the older leaves. The fungus lives over winter on the trash from a preced ing tomato crop. It lives over in the greenhouses or cold frame in the trash from seedlings left in the soil. The spores have not been found on tomato seed. Hundreds of plants from all the common varieties have been grown in clean soil without one case of leaf-spot appearing spontaneously. The spores of the fungus are released from the spore case only when the leaf is wet. Heavy dews give conditions which allow an oozing of spores. By far the greatest factor in spreading the fungus is a washing, splashing rain. There fore, the disease is most serious in a rainy season such as that of 1915. Many growers make the mistake in thinking that the tomato disease is caused by the weather, while the truth is that the disease is caused by'a parasite whose spread is favored by the wet conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Investigations of Caterpillars Attacking Tomatoes in Northern California During 1939, Vol. 644 Amount and Persistence of Insecticide on Foliage - The frequency with which an insecticide must be used is influenced by the amount of toxic substance applied, its persistence upon the treated plants, and plant growth. In order to determine the persistence of the calcium arse nate and the cryolite used in the present experiments, samples of tomato leaves were taken from treated vines at six different times during the harvest season. Five leaves were removed at random from each of the four replications of a given treatment, placed in a paper bag, and brought to the laboratory with minimum disturbance.

Download or read book Tomatoland written by Barry Estabrook and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2012 IACP Award Winner in the Food Matters category Supermarket produce sections bulging with a year-round supply of perfectly round, bright red-orange tomatoes have become all but a national birthright. But in Tomatoland, which is based on his James Beard Award-winning article, "The Price of Tomatoes," investigative food journalist Barry Estabrook reveals the huge human and environmental cost of the $5 billion fresh tomato industry. Fields are sprayed with more than one hundred different herbicides and pesticides. Tomatoes are picked hard and green and artificially gassed until their skins acquire a marketable hue. Modern plant breeding has tripled yields, but has also produced fruits with dramatically reduced amounts of calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C, and tomatoes that have fourteen times more sodium than the tomatoes our parents enjoyed. The relentless drive for low costs has fostered a thriving modern-day slave trade in the United States. How have we come to this point? Estabrook traces the supermarket tomato from its birthplace in the deserts of Peru to the impoverished town of Immokalee, Florida, a.k.a. the tomato capital of the United States. He visits the laboratories of seedsmen trying to develop varieties that can withstand the rigors of agribusiness and still taste like a garden tomato, and then moves on to commercial growers who operate on tens of thousands of acres, and eventually to a hillside field in Pennsylvania, where he meets an obsessed farmer who produces delectable tomatoes for the nation's top restaurants. Throughout Tomatoland, Estabrook presents a who's who cast of characters in the tomato industry: the avuncular octogenarian whose conglomerate grows one out of every eight tomatoes eaten in the United States; the ex-Marine who heads the group that dictates the size, color, and shape of every tomato shipped out of Florida; the U.S. attorney who has doggedly prosecuted human traffickers for the past decade; and the Guatemalan peasant who came north to earn money for his parents' medical bills and found himself enslaved for two years. Tomatoland reads like a suspenseful whodunit as well as an expose of today's agribusiness systems and the price we pay as a society when we take taste and thought out of our food purchases.
