Anyone help me with blooms on my tomatoes falling off? I have 10 or so plants. Different varieties and most of the blooms are falling off each plant. I have several tomatoes on on some plants. I use an electric toothbrush to pollinate. Lower nitrogen fertilizer (Tomato tone) obviously I can't control weather but there are no pests on them.

I use Neem oil and bt spray. Plants are looking extremely healthy with growth and have lots of blooms but most just fall off? Zone 7b central Alabama

It could be the heat. Not sure what the temp is but once it gets too hot the plant will bloom but won't set any fruit.

When temps get over 90 degrees or so they will start dropping flowers to try and survive and send reinforcements elsewhere on the plant

I live in Central Alabama and it's definitely hasn't been hot enough to cause blossom drop.

I would guess you have either too much or too little nitrogen since you claim no insect problems.

Are you using the toothbrush when plants are dry and see the pollen fall out of the flowers?
