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.
We can often slow down the blight in tomatoes by mulching and trimming the leaves up the trunk a bit, it starts from splash or whatever from the soil. Potatoes are affected the same, but are pretty impossible to control so they will tend to spread it into the tomato crop that you spend so much time trying to protect.
