Tomato leaves turning yellow?
Question:I see several posts about this but, I have one that is confusing me. I have 9 BIG BOY's and only one plant has yellowing leaves the rest are fine. We had a lot of rain recently, (about a week) with no sun. It's not the whole plant just certain branches and I noticed today that it seems to be starting in the plant next to it there are a couple of leaves turning. Any thoughts?
Answers:
Early blight (Alternaria leaf spot) (Figure 5) is caused by the fungus Alternaria solani. Symptoms become prevalent during the hotter months. This disease produces brown to black, target-like spots on older leaves. If severe, the fungus also attacks stems and fruit. Affected leaves may turn yellow, then drop, leaving the fruit exposed to sunburn. Sanitation is the best control. Remove all diseased plant tissue on the ground, as the fungus overwinters on leaf debris. Do not plant tomatoes in the same place next year. Space plants farther apart to improve air circulation. Avoid overhead irrigation. If the infestation is heavy, sulfur dust may help protect new leaves from infection.
I could be wrong, But I always thought it was to much water??
Maybe, Somebody can clarify this...
I had a few on my plants as well, All I did
was cut the yellow leaves off of the plant..
I would say it's too much water. Let it dry out until you get some more sun. Hope this helps.
