COLLAR ROT IN TOMATOES
Unfortunate Situation Exists in Many
Tomato Patches Down the State

An unfortunate situation exists in
the tomato fields throughout the two
lower counties in the State this sea-
son, and this serious condition of the
plants is attributed to the collar-rOt
or black stem rot as it is frequently
called by the growers.
The first evidence of this disease
was noted in the several centralized
plant beds at about the time the
plants were ready to be pulled and
set in the fields. Although this dis
ease has made its appearance in the
tomato producing sections of Della
ware on previous occasions, there has
never been such a severe outbreak as
has occurred this year. One of the
chief factors instrumental in develop
ing the collar rot this season has been
the extremely wet and cool weather
which is always favorable for all
kinds of funguous and bacterial
growth. If the weather conditions
this past spring had been more suit
able for plant growth it is probably
that very little damage would have
resulted from this disease on the to-
mato.
1t has been estimated that the col
lar rot will reduce the tomato yield
from 80 to 40 per cent, throughout
Kent and Susses counties, as the seed
bed infection amounted to about 80
per cent. in the different plant beds
that were being propagated in the
two counties this spring. Many in
quiries concerning this disease have
come to the attention of County
Agent Russell +. Wilson, but at this
late date nothing can be done tc
remedy the situation. Every known
precaution was taken with the plants
in the centralized plant beds for the
prevention of disease-free and uni
form plants for the growers, but the
collar rot is carried on all wild host;
of the tomato family and consequent
ly is prevalent in most of the soils
For this reason this disease is yer!
difficult to control except in dry sea
sons when the weather conditions art
very favorable for the development
and spread of plant disease. In al
probability there will not be such ;
serious outbreak of collar rot mex
spring as it is not probable that W
will experience a repetition of tn
kind of weather which we had thi
past season. However, it is well t
, be on constant guard when selecting
a piece of ground upon which to grOV
tomato plants, for no one desires t
go through another year under cor
= ditions similar to those of this sprin
and early summer. By carefully oil
: serving a few factors which are es
sential in the production of our CROP
:. we will gradually attain the standar
Y of better and more profitable agr
: culture, and these observations mu.
i be applied in a practical manner
: we are to obtain the most profit fro
our farming operations.
