Watering tomato plants

Question

Watering tomato plants from above can cause disease and pest problems. What about the rain? Why doesn’t rain cause disease and pest problems in garden plants?

Answer 1

Oh, but it does. Mother Nature is just as much to blame as we are. The watering recommendation not to water overhead is given to gardeners so that they don't further encourage potential disease and pest problems.
