I'm assuming you treat weekly, and alternate between the three?
Weekly and with the sulfur weeks, after any heavy rains.

Do your tomatoes produce until frost with those treatments or do the foliage diseases take them down eventually?
Produce, no but the plants will remain healthy enough to begin production again once the severe heat spell here passes. Not much I can do to prevent the blossom drop, the tacky, non-viable pollen period of late July and early August we get here. Shading some plants helps some.

But usually by mid-August we start to get enough below 75 degree nights that I can so some early morning cage-rattling and they kick back into production. I get good production until about the end of Oct. and then I cover some of the better plants and force them on into mid-November.
