Tomato leaf spots #581762

Asked July 19, 2019, 8:34 PM EDT

Year after year we keep seeing these spots on our tomato plants. Every year we move tomato plants to different area of the garden. We place grass clippings around the plants to prevent soil splashing up on the plants.  We have applied fungicide recommended by a garden center with no effect.  The tomatoes themselves are great; it’s the green part of plant is affected. Help!

Expert Response

Septoria Leaf Spot or Septoria lycopersici is a fungal disease.
Pinch off leaves with leaf spots and bury them in the compost pile. Please read more: http://apps.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/plant/vegetable/tomato/leavesspots.html
