The leaves of my tomato are sickly and curled, as well as slightly yellowed. There doesn't seem to be any bugs or bug damage on them. The flowers are seeming to not make fruit, and the stems are slightly spotted with brown-black spots.Not quite sure what happened. The species is a Roma tomato.
Nothing I've searched seems to help.Any ideas?
I can't tell from the picture, and there are too many variables that could make the leaves roll to hazard a guess. You might try reading this article and perhaps the pic's and descriptions will help out.

Thanks Steve! The closest thing seems to be the Yellow tomato leaf curl virus. What puzzles me is that the leaves aren't curling, but growing deformed and shrunk.
I can't see anything in the picture that looks abnormal. Has any herbicide been sprayed?
None, though a very light pesticide was sprayed on the geraniums beside the tomatoes.
I will try for a better picture tomorrow. It's dark here at the moment.
mine were like that only in much younger plants. After some research, I got scared that it was some nasty virus and scrapped them all just in case. Hope yours come out of it!
It may be a virus, but the only trouble it is giving me is fruit production. It looks like a ornamental now Lol!
Here is a photo if a healthy lead(Left) and one of the diseased tomato(Right).
Forget that last post, it will not be until this weekend that I get a photo up.
