Tomato blight, in its different forms, is a disease that attacks a plantâs foliage, stems, and even fruit. Early blight (one form of tomato blight) is caused by a fungus, Alternaria solani, which over-winters in the soil and infected plants. Affected plants underproduce. Leaves may drop, leaving fruit open to sunscald. Early blightâs Latin name is sometimes confused with a form of tomato rot, alternaria, a different tomato problem altogether.
