Comments (8)The plants in self-watering containers and in 5-gallon grow bags are both exhibiting the leaf roll. However, I do have 2 5-gallon grow bags that have plants in partial shade which do not exhibit leaf roll and are just as big, if not bigger, than those in the self-watering containers. I'm thinking the leaf roll may be root stress related. Either the 5-gallon containers/bags have become too small, the container gets too hot thus stressing the roots, or the potting soil has finally compacted and isn't delivering enough oxygen to the roots. I have tomato plants in raised beds as well and I haven't noticed any leaf roll with them. I have noticed a few had yellowing leaves w/brown spots (3rd picture), however....See MoreTomato leafs curling and yellow spots
Comments (3)What is the name of variety? Does it happen to all varieties, or just one ? How is the watering, rain situation? Are you growing in container ? is so what medium have you used ? I know this : Some varieties are prone to this kind of leaf role . Excess water ( rain or hand watering ..) also can cause this .. Wrong medium , retaining too much moisture can be a contributor. Too much nitrogen might be another reason. Are the edge of some leaves crisp? Now , herbicide drift is a remote probability to me , based on your picture....See MoreTomato leaf curl

Comments (28)The first link says, "Damage by glyphosate usually results from spray drift." Second link: "It has physically drifted from somewhere" Third link: "Drift from pesticides can kill or damage" Forth link: "Be careful to prevent herbicide drift into home gardens, farms, or greenhouses where tomatoes are growing. " "By claiming you can "frequently use glyphosate near my tomato plants without problem" flies in the face of not only the original product label which clearly states in the Precautions/Restrictions - "NOT RECOMMENDED" around tomatoes but common knowledge." ""NOT RECOMMENDED" is not the same as "RECOMMENDED NOT." That warning is for fools who can't control spray drift. The versions of Roundup with additional active ingredients are much more dangerous because the other active ingredients spread by rain and other water flowing over the ground. And, this can even happen 10 ft. away. This doesn't happen with glyphosate because it binds tightly with soil. What is most remarkable is that you are not criticizing ncrealestateguy for not heeding the warning. ncrealestateguy said,"the tomato plant show signs of twisting stems " That is NOT a symptom of glyphosate poisoning which is evidence that he was not using pure glyphosate. And, I suspect there was water flow along the ground from one plant to the other. To reiterate, I don't let glyphosate drift onto my tomato plants and I don't have problems....See Moreladybug A 9a Houston area
