Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - Gray Mold? Something Else? How do I treat this and save my plants

SalsaCharley, did not notice any bugs on the plant either with naked eye or with a 5x magnifying glass. (Don't have loupe)

After I removed the dying branches and sprayed with daconil, in the past week, I have not seen the problem spread through the plants. A few more leaves died, but overall the problem seems to be cured or halted.
We are having another humid/rainy week, so I am afraid of what that will bring.
Also this started at the top of the plant. I thought molds will typically start from the bottom of the plant. I am hoping to stave off diseases for another month .. and may be I will actually get all the greens on the plant to ripen! and get decent yields after giving up the share of chipmunks and squirrels.
