Tomato Pests & Diseases

leaf spots--better pic

12 years ago

I'm not sure if the spots on my tomato leaves (shown in the attached picture0 could be the result of wind and dryness (both have been issues recently) or whether I am dealing with a disease/pest problem. It doesn't look like the toamto diseases I am used to. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Only 8 of my 92 tomatoes are showing this kind of damage at this point.

Joanna,

Your pics look very similar to mine that I posted recently and the knowledgeable folks on here said it looked like environmental damage - light tan spots specifically. Mine looked like the green flaked off the top of the leave and then when it dried out got light brown. From what I've read since then, new foliage will take over for the damaged leaves.
I too had a lot of cold and wind lately. It's been a hard month for the poor tomatoes.
