I can see leaf curl caused by the herbacide as they discribed it as I have seen it when I used "Roundup" one time to close to a tomato bush not knowing at that time what the consequences would be, but found out in a hurry.

Ami, I read the referenced article, but I don't understand your interpretation of it. 2,4-D aka Roundup, aka glycophosphate is not a fungicide. Daconil aka chlorothalonil is not a herbicide. Two completely different products/chemicals.
