Late blight in both tomatoes and potatoes is caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, and is a worldwide destructive disease. Under favorable weather conditions, tomato and potato crops can be destroyed within days. Cool, moist conditions are considered most favorable for late blight to develop and spread.
The early blight fungus can come from many sources. It can be in the soil, it can already be on seeds or seedlings you purchase, it can over-winter in the diseased debris of your tomato plants and it can persist in the soil or debris for at least 1 year.
