Container Tomatoes The tomatoes are grown in containers. He uses a five gallon bucket with soil inside of a six gallon bucket that stores water. Last year his crops were very productive and the first part of this year were great as well. Now his crop is infected with this disease he would like any suggestions of treatment if not to save this crop to prevent it in the future. The only thing he has used on his plants is an organic compound called millstop which is like 80% potassium. Thanks Submitted by: Kerri Ison Response: Kristin S. Krokowski We had some nutrient toxicity this spring in greenhouse container grown tomatos that looked similar. Since it doesn't look like any tomato diseases I'm familiar with you might want to consider a leaf tissue analysis. I'd stop using the potassium product.
