Disease or Deficiency?
What do these leaves tell you?
Is the first pic, a deficiency? The others blight? Thanks in advance!

I agree, the first photo is a mite infestation. You should be able to see them on the underside of the leaves with a 15X magnifying glass. The 2nd and 3rd photos could also be mites but not as definite.

The first photo is funnily only what my Maglia Rosa tomatoes look like and I have two plants. (Knock on wood) but I don't see the same thing on any other types of tomatoes. There are other plants between/around them and they don't seem to be showing the same markings on their leaves.
That said I sprayed the heck out of both and surrounding plants this morning with a mixture of 1 tablespoon Dawn with 1/2 gallon water. I hope I didn't overdo it... Last edited by luigiwu; August 8, 2014 at 08:28 AM. |
