Diseased Tomatoes

Can anyone tell me what is up with my tomatoes? I'm sure this is a common problem as I've seen it before but I'm not sure what it is. The leaves at the bottom of the plant started to go brown so I removed all the brown leaves however the rest of the lease at the top of the plants are now suffering the same fate. You can see from the picture where I removed the leaves. I have other plants in the same greenhouse and they seem to be fine. Can anyone help with what this is so I can stop it happening again. Thanks ????????

I don't think it's a disease, but likely down to environmental conditions.
It's probably going to be either temperature, light, water or nutrients (or a combination) that are causing the problem.
If you've been treating it the same as the others, maybe its just the position in the greenhouse it doesn't like - might it be a bit draughty there, or less sun?
That's about all I can think of...

Oh that's good news. They were a bit crowded to start with so maybe that had something to do with it. at least I can stop worrying that the others might catch it too. Thanks ??
One this they hate is being anywhere near bags of lawn fertilizer or weed and feed. They do react badly to the fumes. So never keep it anywhere near tomato plants. Strange, but true
Hope you'll be enjoying your toms very soon
