Botrytis on Toms

Now there's a real pain. Greenhouse toms are affected by botrytis/grey mould. I thought it was sun scorch at first but then stems leaves began to go soft and toms have ghost spots and some rotting at stalk/tomato junction. Just confirmed disease by looking at text books and pictures on the net. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Ah well, at least I can take more preventative measures next year but I'll be lucky to save any of this year's crop.

    Oh sorry to hear that. Not too sure what causes botrytis?
