That happens to my tomato plants almost every year. You may be underwatering them or you may have a disease. I forget the name of it but the leaves just slowly die. You still get good fruit but eventually the whole plant will die. It does take awhile though.

I'm sure they have some sort of disease. The possibilities are a wilt or nematodes. Nematodes are a type of worm that can live in the roots of tomato and other plants. They will restrict the roots from taking up water and nutrients from the soil and eventually kill the plant. The cure takes a long time and isn't always effective. You need to select plants that are nematode resistant. Look for this: VFNT, the N stands for nematode resistant. The VF are two types of wilt resistance and the T is for tobacco worm.

Tomatoes can cope with water on the leaves - somewhat, hon. in spite of everything... vegetation love rain, you comprehend? yet once you have any fertilizer in the water, the fertilizer in the water can burn the leaves. each and every from time to time leaves will basically die consistent with solar or too little or too plenty water, and so on. If it is basically a pair at a time, do not trouble approximately them. As for watering in intense warmth days - I each and every from time to time water the soil basically slightly - so the roots get somewhat drink and can rehydrate the plant somewhat. it somewhat is greater useful overall to water while it somewhat is early morning or overdue nighttime so the plant can take finished great element relating to the water it gets. good good fortune at the same time with your tomatoes! Peace.

If you don't have disease resistant plants, it could be anything. Tomatoes are susceptible to wilt and if they are young and the leaves are wilting, that could be it. If the leaves are yellow, the soil needs to be enriched. Take a soil sample to your local ag. office and have it analyzed. Also, make sure they have enough water and food (nitrogen enriched).
