Default tomato plant wilt

The Ag Org fertilizer is basically dried chicken manure. I didn't think
that kind of fertilizer would cause fertilizer burn.

I recently planted 6 "Bonnie" brand tomato plants. These plants come in
a paper-like, bio-degradale container in which one is supposed to leave
the plant when planting. I put about 2 tablespoons of Ag Org fertilizer
in the bottom of each hole and placed the plants so 80% of the plant was
buried. On the 4th day after planting, I examined them in the morning
and saw they all grew 2 inches and all looked great. I examined them
again that evening to discover one of the plants had completely wilted
with no discoloration. The rest of the plants still look great. The
same thing happened to a tomato plant that was previously planted there.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what could have caused this kind of
rapid wilting?



Fertilizer burn (?)
