    WHY DO TOMATOES LEAVES TWIST?

    There are several reasons.
    If the upper leaves of tomatoes are twisted, this indicates a lack of calcium. It is necessary to carry out foliar feeding of plants using calcium nitrate (20 g per 10 liters of water).
    When the plants are very hot and there is not enough moisture, the upper leaves are folded into tubules to reduce evaporation. If the tomatoes are in the greenhouse, you need timely airing and watering.
    With an excess of nitrogen in the soil, the plants fatten, and the leaves curl. This can be corrected by applying abundant watering and foliar feeding with potassium (1 tsp potassium sulfate per 1 liter of water).
    Leaf curl is caused by small black aphids that appear on stems and leaves. To destroy it, plants must be carefully sprayed with pesticides.
    Sometimes leaf curl causes the curl virus. The leaves begin to curl at the top, the stem does not stop growing, the leaves become yellowish or light green in color. Such a diseased plant must be removed from the site immediately so as not to infect other tomatoes.
