What would cause small holes in tomatoes?

Small holes in tomatoes can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  1. Insect damage: Insects such as aphids, thrips, and stink bugs can feed on tomatoes, causing small holes to appear.

  2. Blossom end rot: This is a physiological disorder caused by a calcium deficiency. It can cause small, brown, sunken spots to develop on the blossom end of the tomato.

  3. Sunburn: Sunburn can cause small, white or yellow spots to appear on the skin of the tomato. These spots can eventually turn into holes.

  4. Fungal diseases: Fungal diseases such as early blight and Septoria leaf spot can cause small, brown or black spots to develop on the leaves and fruit of the tomato. These spots can eventually turn into holes.

  5. Bacterial diseases: Bacterial diseases such as bacterial spot and canker can cause small, brown or black spots to develop on the leaves and fruit of the tomato. These spots can eventually turn into holes.

If you notice small holes in your tomatoes, it is important to identify the cause so that you can take steps to prevent further damage.
