White powdery matereial on stems

fnsdo · September 9, 2006

of pepper plant and basil. Now all my young tomatoes (home germinated and Laurel's) are showing something that looks like curly top- top leaves are curled into small cups and growth is poor. No purple veins, no fungal-appearing spots on leaves, no other colors or discoloration.
I cleared out the infested pepper and basil but still have this severe problem on virtually all plants.
Until this, have never had a disease problem. All plants in 15 gal containers, watering by drip system at soil level..
Help appreciated.
