Solution to TSWV - Tomato spotted wilt virus disease

Tomato spotted wilt virus disease causes tomato plants to rapidly wilt and die, and there is no way to treat infected plants.

TSWV is spread by tiny insects called thrips which are very difficult to control. Even if they are controlled, this won't stop the TSWV disease from

spreading.

The only solution to manage this TSWV disease is to plant varieties of tomatoes that are resistant to the disease.

Choosing tomato varieties with natural resistance to TSWV diseases will increase the overall chances of raising perfect healthy crop of

Tomatoes but will not eliminate this disease problems.
