Damage on Young Plant. A large tomato plant can survive damage better than a young plant, but even a small plant can recover from a broken upper stalk. If the stalk, or stem, is damaged under the lowest branch, however, the plant will not survive.
Do not use your infected garden soil. Or remove the soil from one of your raised beds, replace it with a mixture of compost and screened topsoil and grow wilt-resistant varieties; these will be designated by the letters V and F after the tomato's name on the seed packet or plant tag. There may be other letters as well; that's fine.
