Tomato leaf problem

11 years ago

I have one tomato plant out of 12 that has a problem with the leaves curling up and turning brown and crispy. It started at the top of the plant and I can not find anything that looks like it. I am putting a link to a picture that I hope helps you to see what it looks like. Thanks! oh it is in a raised bed with cotton seed mulch.

Here is a link that might be useful: tomato leaf pic

Maybe Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus. I couldn't make out the details of the spots, so that is my best guess.

Are you certain? Does the virus cause dried leaves?

Nope, I am not certain. It is my best guess. I was thinking tswv, because along with spots, it can cause: curling of leaves, bronzing, and die back of growing points. Also,the picture resembles others I've seen. Though, it is hard to make out the details of the spots. I hope someone can give you a more definite answer on your problem.

Do you know if you have TSWV in your area or thrips?
