Tomato plants grown in greenhouses tend to suffer from a specific range of pests and diseases. We list them below in the order in which they are most common.

It is of course possible for greenhouse tomato plants to suffer a range of other problems. If you can't identify the pest and disease from the list below then click here to go to our pest and disease centre.

As well as pest and disease identification, we suggest remedies for controlling them.

GREENHOUSE PEST & DISEASE - WHITEFLY

The number one pest when growing tomatoes in your greenhouse will be the whitefly. They start off as tiny nymphs on the underside of leaves. They then develop into adult whitefly. Click here for our page devoted to identifying and treating whitefly pests in greenhouses.

RED SPIDER MITE

The first signs of red spider mite is the appearance of mottling on the top of leaves. As soon as you see this, act quickly. We have a pest page devoted entirely to identifying and treating red spider in the greenhouse, click here to go there now.

OTHER GREENHOUSE TOMATO PESTS & DISEASES

Tomatoes grown in greenhouses do suffer from a range of other pests and diseases but they are not specific to greenhouse culture. They affect tomato plants grown in greenhouses and outside. Click here to go to our main tomato pest and disease page for full details.

The good news for greenhouse growers is that the scourge of outdoor tomatoes, blight, is far less likely to affect tomato plants in greenhouses.
