Hello house,
Can too much rain/water cause tomato stand/leavea to rot away. Some of them are not doing well again(it rains consecutively in my area).
Trying hard to post the pics but its nt showing up.

excelsiorfarm: d problem is d weather sir, too much humidity, though i dont know d seed brand u planted,in future try to get draught & high humid tolerant seeds(technisem seed is an example), though discuss with d seller because not all, about disturbing, if we cant help eachother, then whats d value?, about where to spray, it depends on d stage also,whether already infested/a precaution, if already fruiting, d insect would aim for d tomato, but a great way to reduce insect infestation is to make your farm free from weeds(they serve as host to insect & diseases), for your insecticide, follow d maker's direction/advise

Thanks alot my oga at d top,
The name of d tomato seed i planted is premier seed sealed in a small paper envelope.
