Can You Identify the Cause of This Problem? *pics*

rnewste · July 2, 2008

I would appreciate some help with a problem that has recently developed on 4 of my tomato plants. In sections of these plants (mainly on the North or interior) the leaves just go limp, and a few days later, crumble in your fingers.

There are no bugs or spots on the leaves, and they don't turn yellow. It looks like they "turn off" the moisture and wither. Here are a few pictures:

They are getting plenty of moisture (perhaps too much?). This condition is working its way up these 4 plants at the rate of about an inch a day. The tomatoes and their stems on the other hand, keep growing just fine.

thanks,

Ray
