If this is a problem that occor after the palnt begins blooming and
setting tomatoes and the vine also shows signs of wilting, You most
likely have Fusarium Wilt. The only thing you can do about is use
resistant/ tolerant varieties. They will have a list of disease
resistence after thier names (like VFN) .

I might be wrong, but I don't think this is the problem I'm having. The
symptoms sound pretty familiar but the photo's look nothing like my
plants. They are wilting from top to bottom, leaves are curled (as if
covered in aphids), and leaves are dying from bottom up, but I've cut
into the limbs of the bottom leaves and found no discoloration in the
vascular tissue. Perhaps this is correct diagnosis and I'm just not
able to see what is being shown in the photo. I'll have to wait until
next season to find out I guess, when I purchan VFN resistant tomato
strains.

Thanks for the help.

My news server is losing messages left & right, so you may have mentioned
these things already, but here goes anyway:

1) Are you feeding the tomatoes? Using what, and how often?

2) Have you checked the soil's pH? If it was off, did you correct it? How?

3) Are any garden chemicals being used in the garden, or anywhere else on
the property? If yes, by whom? Just you, or another person?

4) Is the plant in the ground, or in a pot?

5) How is it watered? How much? How often? What's the water source?
Municipal? Well water? Is there a water softener involved?
