The fate of our STEEMIT Tomatoes

(Need some Help)

And it turns out, being a Farmer is not easy.

During this time we imagine that farming is an easy job, with stages and standard cycles starting from land preparation that is the processing of soil, basic fertilization and the establishment of the bed, then followed by seeding seeds, planting and care while waiting for the harvest.

But the reality is not so easy, in the phase of soil processing up to planting maybe the work is not too difficult and complicated, just in need of a little extra effort and thoroughness.

The big problem comes just before the harvest comes, as I am experiencing right now, although I have given very intensive attention and attention, but there is still a gap for pests and diseases to attack our plants, like today's events, without being preceded by some sudden symptoms our tomato plant comes from the caterpillar attack that mercilessly attack the leaves, young fruit and even the stem of the plant.

While dozens of other plants instead infected a form of fungal disease targeting the roots and base stems Plants (wilt pusarium) to likes to dislike plants attacked by fungi should be removed and thrown away. Since there is no other way to treat it, the fungicides of any brand and any kind that exist in our area are only able to prevent this disease, not to treat infected plants.

Whereas for caterpillar attacks I can still cope with spraying insecticides.

If this condition continues and my fungus attacks are not able to control, then most likely, the history of the STEEMIT tomatoes that I planted and cared for with my whole soul, also finished all my hopes and plans about the beauty of the harvest.
Materially I may not suffer much loss, because most of the capital for this cultivation I peroloeh from STEEM and SBD transactions from the wallet in my Steemit Blog, but morally I have lost a lot of energy and time, and the sense of disappointment and embarrassment due to this failure .

Through this post I still hope, if there is among steemian who understand about the cultivation of tomato plants so willing to share knowledge, so that my tomato plants can be saved, so I avoid the total loss due to lack of experience and knowledge, because this is the first time I tried cultivation of tomato plants.

In general, healthy Tomato plants are still quite a lot, but if the intensity of fungal attack increases is not closed the possibility to destroy the entire plant with a slow but sure pattern of attack.
