tomato plant disease

nwdreamer03 · Sun Jun 07, 2009 5:32 pm

I have 4 tomato plants. Three of the four have started to turning a light/bright yellow that starts at the leaf stem and moves out toward the tip of the leaves. This is particularly evident on the new growth. Can anyone tell me what this is and how to treat it? Thanks!

Well, it would be best if you could post a pic. I'm sure some of the lovely experts here would know what it is. From my very limited experience I would say it sounds like early blight? But I'm very new to this as well. If I remember correctly I think what you should do if this is the problem is remove the affected foliage and then spray the plant with a solution of milk and water. I think it's 1/10 milk to water.

I may be completely wrong though! Hope someone more knowledgable replies soon!

these plants are in the ground?

My leaves seem to have yellow blotches with rust colored spots all over it. The plants are in the ground and about 8 inches tall. The rust spots appear to be on the top of the leaf and they feel rough.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
