Tomato leaf disease #753676

Asked June 03, 2021, 7:54 AM EDT

Hello, I was wondering if you can tell me what this tomato leaf disease is and how to treat it. It's on both of my cherry tomato plants that are being grown in pots on my deck. Thank you for any information that you can provide.

This looks like a type of environmental injury on the tomato foliage. For example, challenging spring weather conditions - cool temperatures, wind, cool, wet soils, etc. We have received several questions and photos about this. 

These are warm season plants that grow best in warm temperatures and soils. Plants tend to grow out of it if not affected by further stressors. No treatment is necessary.  https://extension.umd.edu/resource/vegetable-seedlings-or-transplant-leaves-yellowing-turning-white-or-are-spotted-or-scorched
