Why are my tomato plants all of a sudden turning yellow?
I would bet you've been watering too much. It can come from too little water also, but usually springtime brings enough rain to cause over-watering as well. A fungus develops in the soil, and splashing water causes the fungus to spread to the leaves of the plant. It's best to remove the yellow leaves and avoid over-head watering of the tomato plants. Also, remove any grass or large weeds growing around the plants to ensure good air circulation. This will usually correct the problem.





good luck

The nitrogrn will green them UP
Reply:Sometimes when a plant turns yellow it needs iron. If you have a slightly acidic soil you can just get some fertilizer that has some iron in it. If your soil is to basic you will need to do a liquid foliar application. Iron can't be taken up by plants roots if the soil PH is to high.
Reply:Aphids (sp?), maybe. Get some live ladybugs, or my wife says that you can spray the plants with some water with a tiny amount of soap in it to treat for aphids.
