Why this plant dying?

Hi The lowest leaves started yellowing then died. Then next lowest leaves starting doing the same. I don't remember if I put too much organic in the soil or not. This plant suffer from whiteflies, I used an insecticide in 16 OCT and I will spray again today night. I put in the soil of this pant a mix of Yeast with Molasses in 2 OCT and 15 OCT. I put a HUMIC acid in the soil yesterday 22 OCT, and planning to put NPK with high P and K after 22 NOV. I included a picture of the whole plant. If worth mention, I grow in a small box. One last thing worth to mention, I figure out yesterday I am like 2 days late in watering, and I did yesterday, is this the problem? And just be patience for a couple of days to get back healthy again?

Ahmed Shendy Looks like stem rot initiation. Better to use Thiophinate methyl

Hi Venkat Pawar. , just wanted to share this picture with you, one of the dying leaves turning like this .. this still relate to stem rot initiation or might be something else. To add, this morning I found both leaves were kinda getting alive again .. but after some hours in the sun, they are returning back, may be worse than yesterday ... In case this info matters

Venkat Pawar. Sorry to bother you again, if our can teach me how to know if the plant is healed from late blight? That leave will get fully green again or the issue won't spread so I know it is healing now?
