TOMATO WILT A SERIOUS
DISEASE.
Widely Scattered Over louisiana
How It May Be Identified
Methods of Control.
Parish Superintendent.

The appearance during the last few
years OF several tomato diseases in
Louisiana, resulting in considerable
loss, has caused much uneasiness
among tomato growers. Formerly,
when tomatoes were grown only on a
small scale, either for local consump-
ton or for small shipments to me
North, there was not much chance for
the spread Of diseases. But, Of late
years, conditions have been much oct.
ter for the development and spread OF
the diseases, on account of the larger
and more numerous fields. An increase
in the acreage of crop is quite often
accompanied by outbreaks of disease
or infestations by pests that had not
been noticed before.

The Control Of the Disease.

Tomatoes should not be grown in
the same ground for more than one
year in three If the. tomato wilt dis
case is present in the ground, IL will
increase in severity rapidly from year
to year If the field Is kept in tomu-
toes. However, IL tomatoes are plant
ed only every third year, much Of the
disease will die out during the two in.
tervening years.
Transplanting from seed beds that
have become infected is q very com.
mon method Of spreading the wilt dis
ease. In many cases truckers use
their seed beds or cold frames year az.
ter year without changing the soil. OF
at least all of. it. Or they may be
filed with infected dirt. Care should
be exercised to keep the seed beds and
cold frames free OF infection.
The growing Of wilt-resistant varIe-
ties or strains OF tomatoes is perhaps
The most satisfactory way Of cOntroll.
ing this disease. Tomato plants even
in the same field 90 not show al the
same susceptibility to the wifi. and By
saving seed from fruits OH healtay
plants wilt-resistsnt variety may be
evolved This method has been s,c'
cessfully practiced at the Louisiana
Experiment station,
Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1916-09-09
The Tomato Wit.

Inc tomato wilt, the most serious
OF the tomato diseases is widely
scattered over the state. It absolute.
ly prevents the growing of ordinary
tomato varieties in some fields in some
sections and cuts down the yield ma
terially in many Of them. The disease
is produced by fungus which lives
over from year to year In the soil, ana,
after field is once badly infected, it
is difficult to grow tomatoes there for
a number Of years. The plant affected
by the wilt disease has a more or less
stunted and sickly appearance. The
leaves turn yellow and fall off, and,
finally, the whole plant dies Usually
a Few fruits develop on the plants, but
they do not grow very large or ripen
normally.
II plant affected with the wilt dis
ease IL pulled up and the stem cut
across with knife, the interior of the
stem will be seen to be dark colored,
or else there will be black areas in il.
These extend from the roots up to the
leaves and sometimes even out into
the petioles. The presence Of these
dark colored areas is evidence OF the
presence Of the wilt disease. It is pri-
marily a root and stem disease and
all Of the damage is done in these
parts. The leaves show the effects Of
the disease only after the roots and
stems are badly diseased and are I'm,
able to function as they should.
