Why does your Solanum lycopersicum Motto F1 have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient; when lacking, the plant moves it from older leaves to newer growth. In 'Motto F1' cherry tomatoes, this typically manifests as uniform yellowing of the bottom-most leaves first.
Excessive moisture in the growing medium prevents oxygen from reaching the roots, leading to chlorosis. This can cause the foliage of the tomato plant to turn pale yellow and eventually wilt.
A lack of magnesium causes interveinal chlorosis, where the veins remain green but the tissue between them turns yellow. This is common in heavy-feeding varieties like 'Motto F1' during peak fruiting stages.
This fungal pathogen causes dark spots that eventually lead to widespread yellowing and leaf drop. It often starts on lower leaves in humid environments common for tomato cultivation.
