What happens to this tomato?

[NicolasGarcia]

Good afternoon from Spain and thanks in advance.
A friend in Spain sends me these photos to help him identify the lack of the plant with that yellow color, I have not known to answer, I think it is lack of iron, but I'm not sure.
Can someone tell me what happens to this tomato? thank you

It could be from Roundup (glyphosate) herbicide spray!

My vote is for lack of iron maybe.

I would have said iron deficiency too, until I came across this article:

Thank you very much for your help to both of us, I have forwarded the link to my friend.

I am not sure if it is glyphosat...give an FE (iron) fertilizer - or if you have an guano fertilizer...

Iron or magnesium deficiency would be my first guess.

Thank you all so much for your help.
Sure enough, my friend tells me that his neighbor sprayed his plants and his plants fell a bit to his.

Tell your friend to report his neighbor. Getting a powerful weedkiller onto someone else property is a very serious matter.

I had beans react to some herbicide overspray one year and they outgrew it and produced well.

I wonder what Spain's laws are?

Just did a quick search on Texas and it looks like vineyards are getting hit hard by drift from cotton farmers.

It is part of the European Union so I would expect it is a criminal offence.


Certainly in the UK I would expect to get a visit from the Police if I got weed killer on my neighbours property.

It's nothing and will grow out and disappear. Just one of life's mysteries.
