I have grown eggplants in this garden for five years, and I rotate their position each year. This year, half of my eggplants are having the same problem to greater or lesser degrees. The leaves will wilt at the edges, and eventually turn brown, progressing to the point where the entire leaf dies. There is no insect pests that I'm aware other than a few slugs or flea beatles, but this does not appear to be insect damage. It has not yet killed the entire plant. Not every plant does this - the green eggplant plants seem to be more susceptible to this than the purple ones (I grow about six or seven different varieties). I've never see eggplants do this before. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
