Then, how do you stop tomato blight?

Avoid watering in late afternoon or evening so that water can evaporate from the leaves and, if possible, water the ground and not the foliage. Most fungi grow best in the warm, wet dark. Rotate crops as often as possible and never turn any tomato debris back into the soil.

Similarly, does tomato blight stay in the soil? Blight spores can survive in the soil for three or four years. Throw out and replace young transplants that appear to be in the early stages of fungal infection, and, if blight appears in young plants after transplanting, remove the infected leaves so that the spores do not make their way into the soil.

In respect to this, can you eat tomatoes with blight?

Eating Blighted Tomatoes In advanced stages -- where the fruit has developed the leathery brownish rot so characteristic of blight -- you won't want to eat the tomato because the flavor will be bad. But as long as the fruit remains unblemished, it should be good to eat.

Does baking soda kill tomato blight?

Baking soda has fungicidal properties that can stop or reduce the spread of early and late tomato blight. Baking soda sprays typically contain about 1 teaspoon baking soda dissolved into 1 quart of warm water. Adding a drop of liquid dish soap or 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil helps the solution stick to your plant.
