Tomato blotch virus

Tomato blotch virus is a plant pathogen that infects tomato plants, causing dark, irregularly shaped spots or blotches on the leaves, stems, and fruit. These symptoms can lead to deteriorated plant health, reduced fruit quality, and lower yields. The virus spreads through insect vectors such as whiteflies, contaminated equipment, or infected plant material. While it doesn't typically threaten human health, managing the virus involves controlling insect populations, removing infected plants, and practicing good hygiene to prevent its spread. Understanding and early detection are key to minimizing its impact on tomato cultivation.
