There are two tomato blight diseases-early blight and late blight-which cause
spotted
leaves. Spray at 10-14 day interval with bravo 720, difolatan, mancozeb, or
maneb from the time that fruits first appear. Blossom end rot shows itself as a
leathery scar or a patch of rot on the blossom end of the fruit. It is usually
related
to a lack of soil calcium and moisture and can be prevented by liming and
watering.
