This is a recurring problem every year. I'm not sure, but neighbors
claim it is some sort of blight. When the humidity of summer finally
sets in, my tomato plants start turning yellow from the bottom up. No
matter how well I keep them watered and mulched. I've sprayed
fungicides, insecticides, and tried most everything. Neihbors and I are
at our wits end. Leaves are beginning to curl up like when aphids are
on them and the leaves on the very bottom of the plant have turned
yellow. If nothing is done, in a few weeks my tomatos will have stopped
being tomato plants and would have become compost.

Any help would be appreciated. I hate spending all this time on vines
that were beautiful all spring and then fall to pieces in the summer
months.

Northern AL here and have the exact same disease problem with tomatoes.
We've tried every brand the local stores sell and every product out there to
prevent disease. This year we did not bother to buy all those products. We
do rotate the vegetable garden and crops. That doesn't help. Our pepper
plants also suffer some kind of disease where the leaves stay a healthy
green but become narrow and crinkled. It's not TMV. They live but make no
edible peppers. It can be discouraging.
