Hello,
I am new here and its seems like a wonderful community, and I hope you can help me with tomato problem:
One of my tomato plants leaves are getting yellow color, here is a picture:

also, on the same plant, the new growth color is brownish, I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but anyway:

This is a cherry tomato (Peace Vine), growing temperatures are good (where I live winter is yet to come), I am having whitefly problems but its under control.
Is this a reason to worry? or should I just wait and see how it turns?
Thanks!
ps, my garden is organic, but move this to tomato forum if needed.

It could be tomato yellow leaf curl virus. The disease is spread by whiteflies and there is no cure. There are some tomatoes that are resistant to yellow leaf curl. Champion II is one of the resistant varieties. I have grown it and it looks pretty, but the birds do not bother it.
