    I'm growing three varieties of tomatoes, Marglobe, Tatura Dwarf and Roma, all of the Roma and some of the Marglobe plants have slightly curled leaves. I have had this happen in the past and while it doesn't seem to be a problem I'm curious to know what causes it. Any ideas?

    Thanks James

    From what I've read on this forum before, I think it's lack of calcium, which is due to lack of water. The only way that the tomatoes can access calcium is through water, so I would suggest you water them more deeply and/or more often.Coming at ya from Sunny Kalbarri, WA.

    The leaf curl would be a bacterial canker, it resembles fusarium wilt
    but generally only withers one side of the leaf. You can't control this
    through treatment, you need to source disease free seed.

    If its fusarium then you need to source disease free seed and do not
    use that planting site for some time as the pathogen is there for some
    time. Hygiene while growing the plants is paramount as these are
    both spread through handling of the plants and overhead sprinklers.
