"The number one tomato disease now is Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV). It is spread by thrips. Usually the top of the plant looks stunted or wilted. The young leaves may turn wan and often have brown or black discoloration within them. The veins on the underside of leaves may thicken and turn purple. Ripe fruit will have pale circles or semicircles.
Once tomatoes get the disease, there is no practical control. There are several variety of tomato that are resistant to TSWV, including Capaya Hybrid. Destroy infected plants as quickly as possible early within the season to prevent spread. "
