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

Could be sun scorch. Is you greenhouse shaded?

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.

It seems unlikely in the situation you describe that the tomatoes would have been touched by the herbicide. If the leaves are not browned or otherwise marked it could be that (if you are new to tomato growing) you have not previously experienced the natural leaf curling habit of a healthy growing tomato plant. Sometimes so apparent that it might be perceived as some sort of infection.
I hope this suggestion might throw some light on your problem Paul.

Thanks - I have not grown tomatoes indoors for many years and haven't
seen this behaviour with outdoor tomatoes.
