The best time to spray your tomato plants is early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Avoid spraying during the hot midday sun, as this can cause the leaves to burn, and the effectiveness of the spray can diminish if it dries too quickly. Morning application gives the leaves time to absorb the spray and dry before evening, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. If you can't spray in the morning, late afternoon is your next best option, ensuring plants are not damp going into the night.
