error

Nitrogen Deficiency

Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient; when lacking, the tomato plant moves nitrogen from older, lower leaves to new growth, causing them to turn pale yellow first.

Very Common

How to confirm: Check if the yellowing started on the bottom-most leaves while the new top growth remains green.

1 Apply a nitrogen-rich liquid fertilizer to provide immediate nutrient uptake for the tomato plant.
2 Supplement the soil with a balanced organic fertilizer to ensure long-term nitrogen availability.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels to ensure the plant can effectively absorb the newly applied nutrients.

Overwatering and Poor Drainage

Excessive moisture in the soil deprives roots of oxygen, leading to chlorophyll breakdown and yellowing foliage across the plant.

Very Common

How to confirm: Stick your finger two inches into the soil to see if it feels saturated or muddy.

1 Immediately reduce watering frequency and allow the top inch of soil to dry out completely before watering again.
2 Repot the tomato plant into a container with superior drainage and a well-aerated medium, such as a mix containing perlite to prevent future waterlogging.
3 Ensure the plant is in a pot with adequate drainage holes and use a saucer to catch excess water, but do not let the pot sit in standing water.

Early Blight (Alternaria solani)

This fungal pathogen typically manifests as yellowing leaves, often accompanied by dark, concentric 'target' spots on the lower foliage.

Common

How to confirm: Inspect the yellowed areas for small, dark brown spots with circular patterns.

1 Prune and remove all affected lower foliage to prevent the fungal spores from spreading further up the plant.
2 Apply an organic fungicide to protect the remaining healthy leaves from further infection.
3 Improve air circulation around the plant and avoid overhead watering to keep the leaves dry and reduce humidity.
warning

Magnesium Deficiency

A lack of magnesium causes interveinal chlorosis, where the leaf tissue turns yellow while the veins remain distinctively green.

Common

How to confirm: Look closely at the yellow leaves to see if a green vein pattern is still visible.

1 Apply a magnesium supplement to the soil to quickly address the interveinal chlorosis.
2 Ensure the plant is receiving consistent nutrition by using a balanced liquid fertilizer during its growth phase.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels with a meter to prevent nutrient leaching caused by overwatering.
