Earlier on this week I noticed chocolate spot virus markings on the lower leaves of one of my greenhouse tomato plants.
Promptly removed it together with the compost and ring in which it was growing.
I was more than a little concerned as I had bought all of my tomato plants from the same Garden Centre and when I returned there to buy a replacement, I noticed that quite a few of their plants in stock also appeared to be showing signs of the virus. I went elsewhere to buy the replacement.
I understand that this virus is generally fatal for the plant and although none of the others are showing signs of the infection (yet!) I wonder if there is anything I can do to treat the remaining plants before any signs appear.
