Found another plant infected today in my second planting bed of tomatoes. That makes three out of 20 plants in that bed and 5 out of 37 that got it in my first bed. I guess this year will qualify as a fairly bad year for TSWV but nowhere near the worst year when I lost about 40% of my plants. That was painful. Every year I expect to lose between 10 and 20 percent of my plants to TSWV. Unless the problem gets much worse I will not take any preventive steps because that is an acceptable loss ratio. I used to lose 80 to 90 percent of my plants to fusarium and nematodes so this small lose is easy to live with.
