Cupped leaves

dirtdobber · June 9, 2016

My tomatoes are the best looking toms I have ever grown stocky plants that are loaded down the past week I noticed the new growth and the top 2 or three "branches" have all the leaves cupped, I was first thinking drift from field behind the house being sprayed but no other plant in the garden looks like this, they flew in some urea with the crop duster a week ago and covered my whole street with it, all or our grass looks great but cant keep up mowing it. Do you think the urea that was spread on the corn behind my house has burned the tomatoes from too much nitrogen?

I also forgot to mention we had a week of off an on down pours after that urea was applied could it be to much water?

Ok guys/gals after spending more time in the garden I noticed, beefsteak tomatoes affected, super sweet 100's not affected, big boys not affected, Kentucky wonder pole beans affected, all cukes not affected, squash and zucchini not affected, sweet and hot peppers not affected, eggplant not affected, watermelon and cantaloupe not affected, okra affected, spinach affected, beets and carrots not affected. I don't think is drift from the round up or it should have gotten every thing. the soil is damp but not soaked where these plants are. I live on loamy sand the top couple to three inches dry out quick. I'm going to give it a couple of days without water to see if it makes a difference.

I do water over head in the early mornings but the water evaporates off the leaves very quickly Id say within an hour after the timer shuts off.

Too much urea but more importantly whatever chemicals were used by the crop duster before the last application. I'm sure it is that residue that is causing you the most problems. Some varieties of things are more sensitive than others...

what was curled are now grown out of it but the new shoots are still cupped, after the beef steaks started getting curled leaves the cherry's have shot up another foot over them. it appears that they will eventually grow out of it.
