Bottom leaves on my tomato plants are turning yellow and dying, It is also happening to a few of my okra plant

The bottom leaves on my tomato plants are turning yellow and dying, the fruit seems not to be disturbed by this but it just keeps getting worse and moving up the plant. Some of my okra plants are starting to turn yellow also. Both plants have little brown spots on them then they seem mto consume the whole leaves and dry up and die. Is it blight ? or maybe something else.

I don't know where you live, but I am guessing that too much water could be the issue. Leaves on a tomato plant will yellow after time, especially the older leaves, but too much yellowing sometimes suggests too much water.
Reply:They have a fungus. Spray with a fungicide, and cut back on the watering.
Reply:the bottom leaves always turn yellow.towards the middle of the season,the whole plant will turn yellow,but it doesn't affect the taste.over watering isn't the problem.they require lots of water.i have never seen any bugs on the tomato plants we grow in our nursery,to cause yellowing,and we have 1,000 plants. take off as many yellow bottom leaves as you can. they are just taking the nutrition from the rest of the plant.
Reply:I always take off the "sucker" (bottom) leaves off my tomato plants anyway.That way more good goes to the top of the plant where the fruit is.


You could try that.
Reply:Previous answers are correct when they say too much water.


The bottom leaves usually turn yellow when your plant is overwatered. Your tomato plant will also begin to get leggy/spindely.


You need to keep the small leaves/suckers picked/pinched off the bottom of your plants. By doing this the plant puts more energy into growing more and bigger tomatoes.


Good luck - nothing tastes as good as home grown tomatoes.
Reply:You have spider mites. You need to spray with a miticide such as Kelthane at ten day intervals.





Organically, about all you can do is spray the plants with a blast of water from the hose.
