I guess no one has an idea

It's difficult to know what you think is wrong. The overall color is quite blue whereas several leaves look silvery. Or is it the yellowing?

Also, how extensive is the problem? Only an older leaf or two? Or all over the plant?

Beyond that, it would help to have a tad of background. Age of the plants; how did you start them (e.g.: seed; purchase), what have you done to them (greenhouse? outdoors? fertilizer? and if the latter, what kind, how much, and how often).

This was a store bought plant that was transplanted into the ground late february. I added gypsum, manure,worm casings, perlite,lime, and a little bone meal. mulched, watered deep once a week, and I occasionally add some algo flash to the watering. I have hit it with aspiring spray a couple times and most recently daconil at 1 tbsp per gallon.
The yellowing and dying leaves are at the bottom of the plant, which i have removed.

Just based on looking at pictures and no real-life experience, that looks more like a deficiency than a pest or disease. How do the stems look?

the stems look healthy

The color is way off on the photo which makes it impossible to tell what might be going on, if anything.

For now I'd stop using anything extra on those plants b'c you've put so much stuff in the planting hole it might well be that the lime and some of the other stuff could be causing problems.

I'm from the school that says put the plant in the hole and that's it. If the soil is known to be lacking something via a soil test, then that's time enough to use amendments. I've seen more folks mess up their plants with added amendments than I care to discuss. (smile)

Continue to use the Daconil if you wish, but water more frequently and try to flush out of the root system some of those amendments but be cautious about overwatering.

Lime and gypsum both? And the bone meal as well? You could well be seeing problems due to too much P.
