Roma Tomatoes Slightly Yellowing and Curling Leaves
Comments (9)Bumping back up to the first page. I am still hoping someone can help id this. I've been trying to research the problem all weekend. Nothing I have seen seems to exactly match the appearance of these leaves. I have posted the pictures in the "Tomato Pests & Diseases" forum, but have not received any responses there either. I know I should be patient, but if there is something I can do to improve the situation, I want to do it as soon as possible. Also, if it is some sort of disease, I want to remove these plants before it spreads to my others. In case it is a nutrition deficiency, today I used a 15-30-15 liquid fertilizer mixed per the package directions as both a foliar spray and a bit to drink at the roots. Can anyone help me?

Comments (1)I do not know your problem but maybe this will start you. If the problem is a deficiency, noticing whether it started on the older or younger leaves first might narrow the cause (if they are big enough). Nitrogen & phosphorous deficiency symptoms first appearing on the older leaves. Symptoms on the younger leaves include Calcium & Sulfur. Purple leaves on the lower surfaces can be seen with a Nitrogen deficiency & leaf curl downward is seen with a Sulfur deficiency. Leaves curled under are seen with a Nitrogen excess. Slow growth can be due to Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, & Sulfur.

If you think you might have a disease you could post pictures on this forum. Any symptoms of leaf spots, abnormal veins, stem & bud character, plant size, etc., might help identify the cause.
