Blight is the most common disease affecting tomatoes in Alabama and typically begins appearing from late May through June, especially during warm, wet conditions caused by frequent rainfall or overhead irrigation.

The key to managing blight is starting early before the disease has a chance to spread. Learn how to identify blight symptoms and explore management options to help protect your tomato crop. https://www.aces.edu/go/6390
