Sometimes, to their chagrin, summer residents notice that the upper leaves of tomatoes have become very curled.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about the reasons for this phenomenon and named ways to solve the problem.
Stolbur
This behavior of tomato leaves, when they become really ugly, may indicate stolbur or another viral disease.
It will not be possible to cure the bushes, so you will have to remove them, as well as the insects that carry viruses.
Overfilling or underfilling
If the leaves look the same when unfolded, evaluate which way they are curled.
If the leaf is curled inward, covering the inner side, it is trying to hide from moisture evaporation in a situation of high air temperature and insufficient watering.
If the leaf curls in the opposite direction and opens its stomata, lifting the lower side as much as possible, it is trying to solve the problem of excess moisture.
Earlier we talked about how to use the needles that fall from the tree to good effect.
