| Please help. This is my first ever planting of tomatoes, there are 3 Beefmasters initially only 1 showed these symptoms, now it's neighbor is somewhat affected. Any ideas? They're in a raised 4x4 bed along with some bell peppers which look fine.

| I got the same thing. My plants are 6 months old and only one is still producing. planted in 5-1-1 in 12 gallon tupperware with good drainage. At one time they looked good but they started looking bad when they started to produce fruit. |

| Mine too! Mulio on another thread said similar look might possibly be potasium deficiency from when toms set fruit. He said to apply kept meal. I have not bought any yet but plan to apply. LInda |

Doesn't look like late blight at all. Can you post some pics that are not so close?
You might get more help from people here if they could see more of the plant. |

| Kind of looks like tomato russet mite. |

| I was wondering about russet mite myself. Does anyone know if I can see them with a hand held magnifyer glass? LInda |

| There is no blackening of the stems, which from what I've read is common with late blight. I have some pretty good soil mix fresh this spring, mostly a mixture of potting mixes and a couple cu/ft of steer manure and fertilized with both organic mixes and Miracle Gro so I don't see how I can have any deficiencies. It's a SIP setup. I went thru yesterday evening and cut out a lot of the affected foilage so I can't really take any better pics. I also didn't say any signs of mites, I'm pretty familiar with the symptoms from my dealings with my 20 something rose bushes. But I'm not familiar with these russet mites, I'll look into it. |
