Is this verticillium?
Several plants have yellow wilt on lover leaves which is slowly creeping upwards:

It could be.
Here's some more info on it - http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.corne...rticillium.htm I'm suspecting it's presence in my garden, and/or possibly fusarium. |

In addition to the link above I was always taught that the first symptoms for tomatoes,was wilting on ONE side of the plant, not by any leaf lesions.
And that sometimes it self cured. I was taught that by the local Cornell agent who was taught by Dr Tom Zitter,at Cornell,who is a world recognized tomato infectious disease person. One summer she brought two interns to my field and there were two plants that had that wilting.It wasn't common where I grew so many varieties at the time,which was about an hour north of Albany. I've been here in upstate NY, zone 5 for 17 years and haven't seen it at all since I moved here. Carolyn

Looks like a nutrient deficiency to me. Probably potassium.
