Goldish-brown spots on leaves with tiny black dots
I hope some of you can help me diagnose what's wrong with some of my tomato plants. Some of them have started developing small golden-brownish spots on their leaves and they all seem to have tiny black dots inside those spots (looks like lice).
I'm attaching a picture but it doesn't really show the problem well. Thank you for your help! |

I can't tell from the pic , but bumping this in case someone can help you. Maybe give us an update on how your plant is doing.

The spots look white on the picture.
Look under the leaves for insects. Aphids? |

+1, it looks white, but I can see a undertone of light brown.
What is the medium, straight peat? Appears you are watering from above?? |

Thanks for the ideas and bumping this up.
I didn't figure out what the disease was, but I managed to isolate the infected plants from the rest and on those I also cut off the infected leaves. The rest of the plants seem fine now. The source of the infection was found to be basil plants that I grew throughout the winter inside, but didn't hold up to well. |
