Herbicide drift might be more frequent than we think. Curled leaves often occur due to herbicide residuals in mulching material, compost, even horse manure. It's a serious issue for market gardeners in the USA and occasionally Britain. Thanks for a great post!

It is more frequent than we think and becoming more so. And I honestly don't get it. Or maybe I do. I've yet to see any real uptick with tomatoes, though.

By crop rotation do you mean not growing tomatoes in that soil for a year? Or not growing them st all?

Yes, not growing tomatoes in the same place more than 1 year in a row. Sometimes 2 years, if the virus has been bad.
