I have 9 tomato plants in my greenhouse, (Alicante).

The op three trusses, Of which there are 7or8  are blind on about 4 plants, all the others are doing great with a fairly heavy crop, what is the cause of the blind trusses,would it be caused by the excessive heat of the last couple of weeks?

    Hi, Derek

    Yes it's called 'dry set' and is common during hot dry spells....misting the plants will help.

    Thanks, David,

     

    I do over spray twice a day, but, I guess i must have missed sometimes.

    Thanks for that Buddyboy.

    This is the worst I've had in nearly 60 years of growing like this.

    Derek.
