While parts of the Southeast are in moderate drought, wet conditions in Texas and Louisiana have brought a variety of diseases to tomatoes and other crops in those areas. The Vegetable Growers News posted an article this week saying that one plant pathologist said he had never seen so many different diseases in one season before. The diseases include white mold, fusarium wilt and Southern bacterial wilt, which develop in extended periods of cool and damp conditions. A number of foliar diseases are also present this year.
