Hello, Dicambia is a powerful herbicide, and can cause withering of leaves almost immediately. It can also cause yellow spots, or can kill the plant if it's absorbed enough of the chemical.
you need to give them more room,grow bag is needed when you water use warm water or rain waterrain is best if not warm water grow bag will help if the plant is say 2 inch in a 4ins pot it will take time to grow put 4 or 5 in a big grow bag it will need light and heat don't put in pots
Hot dry weather may also cause a symptom called physiological leaf roll. This is a self- defense response, where leaves and leaflets curl slightly to prevent further water loss. Try adding some extra water and perhaps some weakened fertilizer and it should pull them right out of this problem.
You can artificially pollinate the flowers by taking a q-tip and gently rubbing the inside of the flower to gather pollen. Then take the q-tip and insert it into other flowers. Hope this helps but it seems you either need some bees or q-tips to help this. Q-tips are safer.

color moving from tip and young leaves back to more mature
leaves. Leaves are small, thin, perhaps with purple veins.
Stems eventually brown and dry off. Flower buds yellow and drop.
Apply N immediately"All you ever wanted to know about tomatoes but were too afraid to ask: http://home.earthlink.net/~shelly.johnson/tomato.html
