Plants that have been damaged are particularly susceptible to being infected by tomato early blight alternaria. When a plant is infected with Alternaria Alternata, it will normally appear first on the lower leaves of the plant in the form of plant leaf spots that are either brown or black. These tomato leaf spots will eventually migrate to the stem and even the fruit of the tomato.
What causes tomato plant leaves to turn yellow? Yellow leaves that have purple, distorted veins are a sign that psyllids have infested the tomato plant. Treatment involves looking on the bottom of leaves for insects, removing them and applying a pesticide to the growing area. Tomato plants that stop growing and turn yellow all over may have the curly top virus. The beet leafhopper transmits this disease by jumping from plant to plant.
