Often when tomato leaves curl it means they have been watered
inequitably - i.e., half-an-inch one week, none the next, 1" the next,
none for the next two, etc.

I recall it also can mean a calcium deficiency - tho' this is more often
the case w/ blossom end-rot.

Allan - your thots?

Leaves also curl as a result of any 'shock.' One common shock is running well water (55degrees) to their roots via drip when the plants themselves are in 90 degree heat.

That's how I curled a bunch of my leaves. ;-)

From all the books I've checked, leaf curl (of this sort) does not affect yield.
