Help identifying a tomato problem.
in Fruit & veg
Hi All, Can anybody identify this tomato problem? In the past I've grown tomatoes outside in growbags, but this year I'm using my shiny new polytunnel. It has no-dig beds with a good 4" layer of organic farmyard compost. All was going well, but in the last week or so several of them (about 5 out of 17) have been hit with this problem - see pics.




The lower leaves are broadly OK, if a little curled, but the new growth has suddenly died back, new leaves have yellowed and the top fruiting spurs have dropped all flowers. I initially suspected overwatering (dripline flow rate miscalculation!) or temperature fluctuations, but it's obviously more serious than that. Any ideas - early blight, wilt, herbicides .... etc.
