White Fungal Growth on Tomatoes.

[Max]

Wondering if any had an idea what this growth is, and any remedies to combat it.
It appears on three of my four plants grown in pots. The plants have been doing fairly well and are around 4 feet tall, and as you can see, several tomatoes are already developing. The fungal growth started in the last 3 days...

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

That's not fungus that's air roots. If you plant deep (see previous thread) they wont do that. Your plant wants more water, food and the rest. You could break off bottom leaves and mound soil up to that point; it wwill root and grow...

And an ounce of prevention is worth 40 bushels of tomatoes. In the future when you plant your tomatoe plants, pinch off all the leaves except the top two and bury the entire stem.
