Blossom end rot on a grape tomato. Calcium deficiency symptoms appear initially as localized tissue necrosis leading to stunted plant growth, necrotic leaf margins on young leaves or curling of the leaves, and eventual death of terminal buds and root tips. Generally, the new growth and rapidly growing tissues of the plant are affected first.
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.
Tomato leaf mold is a plant disease originated from the South and Central America. [1] In 1883, Cooke first discovered the tomato leaf mold in North Carolina. [2] This disease is not common on the fruit, but if the control is not run, the foliage can be greatly damaged and result in significant yield losses.
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 ...

Curly top is characterized by stunting of the plant and deformation of leaves and fruit. The petioles and blades of the leaves curl, twist, and become discolored. [2] Beet curly top virus causes curly top disease in beets and is carried by the beet leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus) [3] throughout arid and semi-arid locations. [4]
The entire system of xylem within the plant allows the bacteria to form titers of up to 10 9 bacteria per gram of plant tissue. Wilting may eventually spread to all leaves and these leaves, along with their petioles, may also show distorted, curled growth. One way to diagnose a severe vascular infection is to pinch the stem.
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.
