Symptoms of TYLCV infection include severe stunting, reduction of leaf size, upward cupping/curling of leaves, chlorosis on leaves and flowers, and reduction of fruit production. This virus can cause significant yield losses from 90–100%, and it is estimated that about 7 million hectares can experience TYLCV infection or mixed virus ...
The symptoms of this disease commonly occurs on foliage, and it develops on both sides of the leaf on the adaxial and abaxial surface. The older leaves are infected first and then the disease moves up towards young leaves. [2] Symptoms of tomato leaf mold appear usually with foliage, but fruit infection is rare.
The plant pathogen causes a yellow leaf disorder in solanaceous crops including tomatoes. [1] ToCV is transmissible by whiteflies, phloem-limited and causes symptoms of interveinal chlorosis followed by necrosis in the tomato plants leaves resulting in a reduced fruit yield. [1] ToCV has a wide range of hosts such as pepper and potato. [4]
Pests, herbicides, or environmental factors can all cause tomato leaves to curl. Learning to recognize the cause is the first step toward solving this common problem.
Symptoms of infection include a downward curling of the leaves, leaf tip dieback, stunting, necrosis of growing leaf tips, sunken 'chicken pox-like' spots on leaves (often with a surrounding halo), stem death and yellowing. [7] Since these symptoms are so generic, extreme caution must be taken when introducing new plants to your greenhouse.
Alternaria solani is a fungal pathogen that produces a disease in tomato and potato plants called early blight. The pathogen produces distinctive "bullseye" patterned leaf spots and can also cause stem lesions and fruit rot on tomato and tuber blight on potato. Despite the name "early", foliar symptoms usually occur on older leaves. [3]
Septoria lycopersici infects the tomato leaves via the stomata and also by direct penetration of epidermal cells. [3] Symptoms generally include circular or angular lesions most commonly found on the older, lower leaves of the plant. [1] The lesions are generally 2–5 mm in diameter and have a greyish center with brown margins.
Symptoms in tomato plants: Include leaf curling and yellowing stunting of the plant, fruit occasionally misshapen with a strawberry like appearance. The leaf axial or stalk may also become very long and the fruit development may be uneven. Symptoms in capsicum plants: Include pale green or yellow leaves with spiky tips. Leaves may be misshapen.
