Sulfur burn ??

19 years ago

Hi all,

I have four plants (about 1' - 1 1/2' tall) in a raised bed prepared with potting mix, compost, garden soil and topped with mulch. A few days ago I discovered leaf beetles on a couple of the plants. The damage wasn't major, so I think I caught it early enough. I went out and got some Safer 3 in 1 spray. I sprayed all the plants, top & undersides of leaves. The day after I sprayed it was HOT, over 90, and sunny. I now know I should not have sprayed with that weather expected, but too late.

I don't see any more leaf beetles but since I've sprayed, the leaves of each plant are seeming a bit crispy (but not totally dried out or anything) and have a slight shimmer (faintly bronzish yellow colored). Today the leaves have started curling upward (maybe unrelated, can't tell). Otherwise the plants are still growing like crazy... so well that you can see the difference from one day to another, and starting to bud. I have looked at the page for diagnosing tomato plant issues, and don't really see anything that looks the same as mine. Do the leaves possible have sulfur burn? If so, what can/should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
