Seedling leaf changes and death

Hi Steve,

AHH! I think you might be right! I came across this virus last night in checking out tomato bushy stunt, but never really followed up. Looking at the google images now (although I realize the images don't always match the search subject), it sure looks like whatever I've got!

Thanks for the county extension link. I'll send them a copy of my photo (and give them my plant if they'd like it for testing).

I haven't seen any leaf hoppers around, but I've had them in the past. I have had a partially open bag of Pro-Mix undercover on the patio for over a year now and I suppose that might have been infected??

Fortunately, at least for now, it looks like less than 1/4 of my seedlings have been infected. Well, off to send an e-mail to extension and do a little research of BCTV!

Thanks again - it's good to have a better idea of what I might be dealing with! I sure hope whatever it is, is "fixable."
