In fact, among the trace elements that tomatoes need, iodine is at the very end of the list. Then why waste time and contribute it?

If we talk regarding fungal diseases (late blight, powdery mildew and others), then in fact iodine has practically no effect on them!

Iodine slightly restrains viral infections, but is completely ineffective once morest other ailments of the culture.
