Is this fusarium wilt?

17 years ago

Help! My San Marzanos and Arkansas traveler appear to have suddenly developed fusarium wilt. Is there anything at all that I can do?

It looks like it, but I guess over watering causes leaf yellowing too and hopefully that's all it is. I confirmed Fusarium in one of my plants and as far as I can tell there isn't a think I can do to stop it. I cut all of the yellow off then some of the top growth too in order, hopefully, to hasten ripening of the set fruit. I will dispose of the plant soon, and for now I'm hoping leaving it out there isn't a mistake. I haven't been able to find an answer for that one, but I have seen many pictures of Fusarium dying plants loaded with ripening fruit so I'm going on the idea that that is okay.
