Tomato disease?

Postby joetomato » Thu May 13, 2010 5:37 pm

Several of my big boy and better boy plants have begun to yellow at the top and at the upper leaves. I can't find any info on this. Is it Fusarium? The site says that bthe Fusarium syptoms start at the lower leaves, so I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

I asked Andre about this and he isn't sure since the damage is appearing on the new growth first. It probably isn't one of the blights. This is a rare symptom. Were your tomatoes properly hardened off before they were placed out in the garden? Maybe they were sun or wind burned? It is also possible that it could be a nutrient deficiency. An iron deficiency will cause a yellowing of the foliage and will present first in the youngest leaves. Maybe try a shot of Miracle-Grow? Please let us know if they recover.
