Tomato plants are dying. am watering regular, using a tomato fertilizer. but leaves are turning brown.?
- Wilting leaves without vascular streaking (colored streaking of the cut stems) is symptomatic of improper watering and/or temperature.





-Wilting leaves with soft discolored roots is symptomatic of


root rot.





- Browning of the leaves and bottom leaves turn down. Coloring of the vascular system. Evidence of cankers on the stem. This is symptomatic of Bacterial canker, Clavibacter michiganensis. This disease often needs to be identified by a professional lab. Spread by diseased seeds and transplants. Can survive in the soil. Take sample to a lab to confirm presence of the canker. Destroy the plants if confirmed. Avoid planting for at least two years.





- Sudden wilting and death of tomato plants is symptomatic of Walnut toxicity. A rare condition caused by proximity to the roots of black walnut trees.





-Leaves are wrinkled with mottling, with symptoms on fruits is symptomatic of Tobacco mosaic virus.





Verticillium wilt symptoms on tomato, potato, and eggplant are similar to those of Fusarium wilt. Often no symptoms are seen until the plant is bearing heavily or a dry period occurs. The bottom leaves become pale, then tips and edges die and leaves finally die and drop off. V-shaped lesions at leaf tips are typical of Verticillium wilt of tomato.

Reply:Could be several things%26gt;%26gt;too much fertilizer can burn the leaves or something as simple as too much iron in your water will make the leaves, esp the tips turn brown.
Reply:About mid July, you need to put a vinyl tent over the plants, so they won't die. This will protect them from the direct sun light, then as for watering them, use a spray system under the plant for one hour every other night, after the sun stops shining on the plants.
Reply:There are lots of different things that can cause this. Are they in a greenhouse? Too much heat and not enough ventilation can cause problems. If blossoms are dropping it could be a calcium deficiency. Do you smoke? Tobacco Mosaic Virus can be spread by not washing your hands after smoking, it affects all plants in the nightshade family, potatoes, peppers, eggplants. There is also a virus Verticulem wilt that affects nightshades, strawberries, etc. that can be transmitted by almost any organic matter that you put into your soil. For the viruses, there is not much to do for them. Clean plants of dead/dying foliage, tie or stake them to get them off of the ground if you haven't already, increase the ventilation if they are in an enclosed space. Cut back on the watering for sure. If they have already set fruit (being the end of august, they should have by now), they won't need nearly as much water. As a matter of fact, reducing water will speed up the ripening process, reduce cracking, and result in better tasting tomatoes. Water only when plants show signs of wilting in mid-day heat. Also, check for pests, aphids (tiny, green or white flying insects) on foliage, if any are found Safer soap is a good organic way of dealing with them. So good luck, keep your plants cleaned up, certainly don't over water, and i hope this helped.
Reply:Sounds like it may be too much water..
Reply:white flies suck the nutrients out of your tomato plant





or it could be other flying/crawling garden pests that feed on your tomato plant...





shrews could possibly be the problem or underground animals that eat the roots of the plant
Reply:if you are not using purified water try that. reverse osmosis units are easy to install for gardening and very inexpensive i have a 100 gallon a day unit and my garden has never been more healthy.hope that helped :)
