I have one heirloom tomato with curled leaves. It is in a bed with other unaffected tomatoes. It hasn’t lacked in water and it hasn’t been very hot this season. This bed gets about 8 hours of full sun in 9a. I have had a problem with cucumber beetles. This one leaf had these small white grains , almost like salt but squish easily so I assume some kind of eggs. Then these scale looking bugs on the side. I searched the rest of the plant and couldn’t find this on other leaves though. Thankful for any help!

These are scale insects, they suck the sap out of plants – the leaf is probably curling up from drying. You can wipe them off with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball or similar, then rinse with water.
scale and new fear unlocked for me bc i didnt know they go on tomatoes too! tysm for this post
Anyone know what the white eggs might be?
