Help Identifying Disease/Problem

grennans · July 14, 2011

Hello!
I'm new to Tomatoville and searching for answers to my tomato problem here in Missouri. My plants were all thriving and ready to ripen fruit. One plant had brown, curled leaves which I removed. But over the weekend and this week it has taken a bad turn and is quickly going downhill. Closer examination finds disease spreading quickly to other plants and not just curled leavs, now also spotting. I've attached several photos.

I've never been very good at looking at sample photos and reading about characteristics of various diseases to determine if that's what mine have; I seem to be able to find similarities with ALL the diseases! So, I just wing and am only sometimes successful. I don't want too lose all my plants.

(

Don't know what to do...Please help if you can! Appreciate any words of wisdom.

More info might be helpful, the various issues that the plant exhibit are probably unrelated.
The leaf roll is nothing to be concerned about in itself. I see some spotting with yellow halos around them which is typical of fungal diseases. The crunchy leaves starting at the edges could be possibly be fertilizer burn. (what are you fertilizing with and how much?) Weather related stress could also contribute.
