Tomato disease - help!

Hi All,

I have a tomato plant (looks quite healthy generally) - it's nice cherry called F1 Chipano. Last year I had no problems at all with it but this year I see some strange spots on the leafs. Any idea what it might be? Looks like some viral stuff - can it be cured with neem oil or shall I just throw it to the bin? Regards.

Could you take a picture in natural light and show the underside?

Hi All,

Just FYI - neem oil helped. Those lums disappeared after few days leaving only white spots. The higher foliage is not attacked so far. Let's hope it stays like that.

That's good to hear! Did you ever figure out what it was?

No unfortunately still no idea what was that. I've placed the same question on forum.gardenersworld.com and also nobody knew exactly. Only one person suspected mealy bug or viral.
I was really surprised how quickly the neem oil helped. I guess I will spray my tomatoes every 2 weeks this season - I have just a couple of plants in the pots - and see if they like it :)

Regards,
