Why are my Tomato leaves drying including the new leaves? Why are there white squiggles on the leaves?
Tomato leaves drying and exhibiting white squiggles can indicate various issues:
Nutrient Deficiency: Insufficient calcium or magnesium may cause leaf drying and distortion. Provide the plant with a balanced fertilizer rich in these nutrients.
Water Stress: Irregular watering or insufficient soil moisture can lead to dehydration and leaf drying. Ensure consistent watering, especially during hot, dry weather.
Sunburn: Excessive sunlight can scorch tomato leaves, causing drying and tissue damage. Provide shade during peak sunlight hours.
Pest Infestation: Whiteflies, aphids, or spider mites can feed on tomato leaves, causing white squiggles and drying. Use insecticidal sprays or natural remedies to control these pests.
Fungal Diseases: Fungal infections, such as leaf spot or blight, can lead to leaf drying and white lesions. Treat with appropriate fungicides or remove infected leaves.
