Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (w/ Pix)

gill_s · August 1, 2010

Has anyone had TSWV as far North as South of UK. I have got it! We did not realise what it was. We thought mineral deficiency, then Septoria Leaf Spot, not even thinking of TSWV. I am now sure that is the problem. It has spread so rapidly it is too late to stop. We have, however removed all nearly ripe fruit and will remove more in the hope they will not be too badly affected. Interestingly it seems(fingers crossed) that my one Kumato plant is ok. This has dark green leaves. I should be interested to know if anyone else in N Europe is affected.
