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.
Apply a fungicide. Once infected, the application of sulfur dust may help prevent the spread of blight to other leaves or plants. Regular fungicide application 2 to 4 weeks after transplanting the tomatoes into the garden will help prevent blight development.
