Can anyone identify this disease. Plant has been removed and destroyed but unfortunately looks like it’s spreading to other plants across multiple varieties.
You need to do some pruning. Open them up for air flow and take out lower branches.
Tomatoes are highly susceptible to herbicides. Any chance yours got any exposure at all?
That might be damage from spraying roundup near the plants but IMO, it is more likely tomato yellow leaf curl virus. It is spread by whiteflies and sometimes other insects. Look up the symptoms and see if it matches.
Certainly not any herbicide from me. Possible it’s drift from a neighbor but TYLCV was my suspicion. Either that or one of the mosaic viruses. Looks like tomato season is over for me before it starts. Unreal.
There are varieties that are supposed to be resistant. You’d be off to a late start, but could still do some tomatoes.
If the PH is your soil is on the low side, you’re at risk of fusarium. I’m fairly new to this malady and my tomato and pepper plants were devastated by the last couple years. I’m fighting blights typically found in NW NC as well. In response, I’ve limed the soil. I’ve also purchased Serenade for the fusarium. It is expensive, but I must find a remedy, otherwise it’s pointless to plant peppers and tomatoes. I hope it works.
I dig sizeable hole to plant tomatoes. Once the plants are resting in the hole uncovered, I placed about 3 pints of Serenade mix in each hole. After the plants were covered, I drenched the drip line with it as well and soaked the upper layer of soil. I will be periodically soaking the upper layer of soil with as well as spraying the plant with it as well as Mancozeb.
The results will be shared in due time.
Payette was bred for resistance to Curly Top. It is a compact determinate that will give roughly 12 pounds of small tomatoes per plant. They taste ok. Like a 68 day maturity.
