Is This Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus?

[robertoccm]

Hello Tomatoville, I wanted to know if my dwarves suffer from Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, and if not I want you to help me identify what it is and how to fight it:
So I transplanted these on the first days of March, I believe, when temps ranged between the high 30s and the low 60s. They started to get brown spots on their leafs, so I cut all of the affected leaves, and while the brown spots never appeared again on the remaining leaves, their growth was stunted as they turned yeallow. I am really worried since some dwarf tomato plants are really healthy. This also happened last year and the dwarf plants died when July's heat waves hit us.





The healthy ones:

Does anybody have a clue how to treat this? Anyone?

I don't see much wrong with your tomatoes. I think the second picture looks like a puny one. The others look OK. Maybe because they died last year you are looking for problems. I don't really understand the pictures. Did the small ones grow into the ones in the last two pictures? If so they look like they are doing fine.

Hi.
For sure it is not TYLCV. I get that little heartbreaker every year, so I would know it anywhere.
To me, they look like they are hungry. I think they need a pinch of some good organic fertilizer. Any of the ones recommended here for vegetables in general at this stage should help. I bet that will green them up. Also check to make sure you aren't overwatering, because that can stunt and yellow the leaves.
Later when they set fruit, change to a fertilizer more suited for fruit set.
I just now saw this, sorry for not answering earlier.

Thanks for your reply, the last two pictures are the healthy tomato plants, the first four are the ones that seem to have stopped growing. Six plants in total.

Thanks for your answer, I'll try to water it less and give it fertilizer every two weeks and observe how they repond.
Again thank you both for your reply, I hope it is something not so bad as you mentioned, I'll continue to analyze their performance in the upcoming weeks.
