Top tomatoe leaves curling

Hi there,

Dad is growing some tomatoes in a glasshouse, the top leaves are curling up and the stem is also curled. The bottom ones are fine. Is the excess watering?

Please see photos... He's confused!

What is the name of variety ? How long has this been ?
Is the plant sprayed with something?

Herbicide damage, likely from drift via a breeze. That can occur even if the tomatoes are inside a greenhouse, the spraying outside.

Also, most likely from 2,4-D.
