Diseases

Crop rotation will help to reduce the incident of disease.

Blight

Tomatoes and potatoes are more likely to be infected by the fungus in wet, warm summers. Remove and burn any infected foliage.

Blossom End Rot

Tomatoes, peppers and courgettes. Water heavily less often rather than a sprinkling of water every day.

Clubroot

Brassicas grown in pots and then transplanted help to reduce this. However, I don't buy or accept brassicas from other people as you never know if you may be unwittingly introducing the fungus into your plot.

Mildew

We try to water in the morning rather than at night which helps to reduce this. Remove leaves that are infected to contain the spread.

Rust

Leeks, onions and garlic. Remove infected leaves, rust doesn't kill the plant but reduces its growth.

Scab

Potatoes but can infect parsnips and beetroot especially in hot, dry summers. Water regularly in the morning.
