From the reading of this article I can´t understand what the problem with this virus would be. Apparently there is an aesthetic problem with the tomatoes, but no other harm, nor to plants nor to human beings is informed.
Are we REALLY consuming or not consuming fruits and vegetables by their look? Are we spending enormous amounts of money, time and attention from scientifics and state administrations on this silly thing? Are we idiots? 181.209.72.194 (talk) 18:54, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Other than the fruits not being marketable (blisters & spots), you also have leaf and stem damage (necrosis, narrowed leaves) which slowly kills your plants/decreases the plant's ability to do photosynthesis and therefore to do plant growth and the amount/quality of fruits. Dried peduncles and calyces on tomato plants can also lead to fruit abscission.
