This is a Brads Blk Heart. No open flowers. I think this may possibly be tomato spotted wilt. Any thoughts??

Looks like it to me.
What does the new growth on the plant look like? Remove those branches and watch the new growth over the next few days. If you see the spots showing up, then go ahead and remove/destroy the plant to reduce the spread. Good luck! Lee

Pulled! It was starting to show symptoms on other leaves.

I have a similar problem that I am worried could be TSWV as well? I’m located in Georgia in Zone 8b and found this yesterday. There is no wilting, just the spots....so far. What should I watch for?

Usually it shows up on newer foliage first.
Take a look at the new foliage and if you see it there, pull and dispose of the plant asap. If not, I would remove all branches with noticeable spots and watch the plant for a few days. If spots return on growth, pull and dispose. If not, just wait and see. This advice is just to confirm if your plant has TSWV. Once confirmed, there's nothing that can be done to cure it, and you increase the odds of thrips infecting other plants. Good luck, Lee

Thanks Lee....The plant is in a container and I have already moved it to “quarantine” it somewhat away from the other plants. I will check the newer growth and see if I see any signs there. I have seen thrips on my cucumber vines and just sprayed those this morning. I’m hoping I caught this in time to save the rest of my plants. ![]() |

It doesn’t appear to be on the newest growth but is on young leaves and there is one leaf that is heavily spotted as well as the stem and is starting to wilt. I’m afraid this may be my first case of TSWV.

I started a lot of back up plants this year. It was such a mild winter. I expect problems.

Spinosad in rotation with Thyme-Guard will eliminate most pest issues. Every 2 weeks starting at plant out. I find it best to be proactive as thripes are hard to notice until 2 late.
