I am about to lose some beautiful tomato plants if I don't act quickly. The problem is the leaves start curling up and getting rusty looking and the plant just gets sicker and sicker looking! It won't take long before I will lose them. Can someone tell me what to do? Thanks, Norma Dean

Try some Daconil?

My tomatoes are suffering from the same condition. I posted a question in this forum more or less identical to yours. Did you plant them in indivdual containers? If yes how big they are? I'm just trying to find what do we have in common. :-)

Hi NDV3 and Robert,

I'm not really up on tomato problems, but Daconil is good for many diseases of tomatoes and other plants and should be readily available at your nurseries.

It also sounds like a watering problem to me. Are your plants getting enough water--and most importantly, deep watering? I don't recommend watering the foliage, but water at the base of the plant and water with a regular schedule. Don't EVER let them completely dry out.

Hopefully someone else gives you more help.
