Issues with Patio variety (Pics included)

[matermaster]

I've got one Patio plant which has had some issues regarding the leaves and disease. It started off with the bottom leaves turning yellow. I was told that this might be due to nitrogen deficiencies so I purchased some tomato fertilizer and have religiously followed the instructions.

After that the leaves started to get little brown spots ringed in yellow which I felt to be either early blight or bacterial leaf spot.

As the plant had several large tomatoes on it I didn't want to destroy it so, being that it was in a pot, I moved it to the other side of the house, trimmed the affected leaves and have begun a HEAVY treatment with an organic fungicide. Is there any hope for this plant? Can blight be contained or slowed with fungicide treatment and removal of damaged leaves?

I'm leaning towards bacterial leaf spot as fruit has not been damaged.

None of my other plants appear to have been affected.

I'll post photos tonight to show what I'm talking about.

This is one of the sick leaves from my Patio plant. Hopefully this will lead to a diagnosis. As you can see from the photo below, the plant now has four fruits on it and I'd rather not destroy it if possible. I'm in the middle of a seven-day fungicide application with it. I've removed all infected leaves.

What kind of variety is it - besides a being a "patio" (or dwarf) tomato? It definitely looks sick - I'd spray it with a foliar fertilizer before spraying with a fungicide. The fungicide; while wiping out the bad bacteria - will also kill the good bacteria (like an antibiotic, and you know the secondary infections you can ge with that).

Agreed and had same thinking. What do Termites look like?
