Default Another tomato query

The top leaves on my greenhouse tomatoes are looking a bit shrivelled.
The nearest match that I could find on the net was glyphosphate
poisoning and I was using that on some bindweed outside the greenhouse.
Do I just leave and hope that they will grow out of it ? (at least the
bindweed is looking poorly too )

Thanks
Paul


I suspect it is not weedkiller as Tomatoes are very suseptable to
glysophate and would be dead long before the bindweed which takes longer
to die


Thanks for identifying the susceptibility - the bindweed was being
sprayed at 2 inches whilst the tomatoes were only getting what drifted
15 feet away and up through a greenhouse roof vent so they would have to
be very susceptible to be affected at all.
