Many gardeners have been puzzled by the sudden wilting and death of tomato plants. Possible causes of wilting include lack of water, vascular wilts, tomato spotted wilt virus, walnut toxicity, or stalk borers. Tomato plants require approximately 1 inch of water per week.
Blossom end rot is caused by the tomato plant not being able to get enough calcium to the developing fruit. It is not caused by a plant disease like a fungus or bacteria. Blossom end rot may also occur in peppers, melons, eggplants, squash and cucumbers.
