One thing I read, is that different cultivars have different degrees of resistance or susceptibility. So a field tomato crop would not be wiped out unless you have a single cultivar growing and it is susceptible - stay diverse is one way to avoid a catastrophe. And use the reflective mulch, since it has good results in the field, if TSWV is the problem. Wish you luck!
