Neighbor's tomatos started showing symptoms like 2,4-D drift. My tomatos were mostly OK, so how would that get 2,4-D?
One of my volunteer plants nearby had the same symptoms. I pulled it out, put it in the trash.

Leaf symptoms include chlorotic margins, small leaves which are cupped, thick and rubbery. Tops of infected plants may took like a head of broccoli. The majority (up to 90%) of flowers abscise after infection, thus few fruit is produced. (TYLCV is very similar in its effects Bean Golden Mosaic Virus in that if young plants are affected, it is highly likely that fruit will not set).
