Control of leaf curl disease in tomato

  • Curling of leaves, reduction in leaf size, excessive branching and stunted plant growth takes place.
  • Older leaves become leathery and brittle. Rouge out the infected plants.
  • Sow 5-6 rows of barrier crops like maize, jowar or bajra around main tomato field at least 2 months before transplanting seedling in the field.
  • The disease can be checked by control of vector (whitefly) by spraying the crop with dimethoate 30% EC @ 300 ml/acre at fortnight interval.
