Please help diagnose these babies..
Please help with these two plants. I have picked the worst leaves and taken a photo for you to see. I tried the Problem solver, but they all look the same to me.
Both plants have stunted growth and some leaf curl. I have sprayed with Daconil. I'm afraid of TSWV spreading through my little tomato bed. Am I jumping the gun? |

In your first picture, I see some spots near the leaf tip that may be TSWV, but toward the base of the leaf, I see the dark veins more than spots. So that one is a maybe. In the second picture, the vertical one, I see no sign of TSWV. Sorry I can't be more sure than that.

The second looks like classic Early Blight to me, which Daconil will prevent further outbreaks.
The first picture certainly looks foreboding but I simply do not have enough experience to say if that's a nutrient deficiency, some other causal factor, or in fact TSWV. I don't see anything in that first picture that excludes TSWV. The purplish color of the blemishes is disturbing. I'll say keep a CLOSE eye on that plant. If you see that condition spread to all the leaves within a day or two, I'd probably panic and pull the plant. But I'd hate for you to do that and then find out it was really something easily fixable. |
