Possible curly top virus

8 years ago

(Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I posted this a while ago, but it didn't show up on the discussions list on my computer.)


The new growth on my tomatoes appears to be curled up as if it had curly leaf virus. The plants have been under some stress lately because the temperature just got hotter (low 70s for the high a week ago to low 80s for the high now). The older leaves are slightly curled but do not appeared to be yellow or disfigured in any other way (except sunburn).


I'm just concerned that the new growth has the virus that can spread to my entire plant. I do remember that when I started them from seed, the new growth curled in a very similar way, but resolved itself later on. This leads me to believe that the issue is stress related. Also, the veins are not purple. I'm just hoping that I don't have a virus.


I really want to have a successful tomato crop this year.



The curled leaves from when they were seedlings about two months ago. This is the Ozark Pink variety. The issue resolved itself later on.




The curled growth from the Ozark Pink variety currently.




The extremely curled leaves of the Sweet 100 currently. I bought this plant from a nursery. The rest of the leaves appear to be normal.
