Yellow sticky traps help control whitefly. It could spread to tomato plants as well. You can use neem oil sprays regularly and also quarantine those plants that have this virus.

I removed 2-3 chilli plants which were severely affected in order to prevent the spreading :-( . it was so disheartening to remove it. But the rest of the chilli plants and one capsicum are also getting affected. Now, I am scared whether it will spread to my tomato plants. Gd Hi Gg,

It is mainly spread by flies/sucking insects that act as a vehicle for the virus. Neem sprays seems to work but multiple sprays are needed. Leaf curl virus is common among chillies and tomato too.

I am also having few chilli plants. It was growing very healthy till it flowered. But after that the leaves started to curl up and the flowers are also going off. I sprayed neem oil twice and panchagavya also but of no use. I searched in the net and seems like its having some virus attack. :( . Do you have any suggestions? Have you heard about this kind of disease earlier? Regards, GreenDreams Hi GG,

Reminds me of when I follow a recipe written by anyone in the West, I should not forget to consider what they say as 1 tomato or onion or lemon should be converted as 4 in Indian sizes! I'm also enjoying Lettuce, tomatoes, palak and cauliflower. Nice to follow the progress on your garden. And like many others said, looking forward to any classes or workshops you might plan.

Only now have I started growing toms, after being inspired by this blog. Since the winter was very severe this year, with the min. temp as low as 4C and a long cold spell when there was no sunshine, the tomatoes that I transplanted in the 2nd week of Jan have just set buds. Hoping to get at least a few tomatoes in the next month. Revathi Hi Gg
