Is this fusarium or verticillium wilt?

8 years ago

All – Please see the attached photos. I’m growing these Early Girl tomatoes indoors, they are supposed to be fusarium and verticillium wilt. It certainly does look like that though… can anyone confirm? There is yellow mottling and some dotting, and the leaves are shriveling from the bottom up.

I DID start using copper fungicide in the soil and foliage in recent weeks and that seems to have abated the wilt somewhat… newer foliage looks healthier and the wilt isn’t spreading much / as quickly.

Any thoughts on diagnosis and further treatment are much appreciated!

Thank you!

Where are you located? Growing inside? I don't know what it is, but the plants still look viable. I'd remove the bad foliage and get it out of there. When can you plant out? How's the ventilation?

Thanks for the comment! I'm growing inside in a mini greenhouse using full spectrum lighting 17 on, 7 off. The ventilation isn't great but I do have a small fan in there and the humidity isn't terrible. I'm in Philadelphia so unf can't plant out for awhile...

Probably need to be in larger pots. The lower leaves show signs of water shortage.

doubt it has anything to do with Fusarium or Verticillium. Unless, that is, you used soil in the pots/potting mix.
