Tomato Seedlings not growing after transplant!

This is Arka Rakshak tomato variety and I transplanted these seedlings 10 days ago but they don't seem to be growing at all. 2 of the plants are showing yellow leaves and curling but others are fine but not growing at all. They are planted in a soilless mixture of cocopeat and vermicompost What could it be? There was heavy rain for 2 hours after 3 days when they were transplanted, though.

These symptoms indicating a nutritional deficiency. This problem can be resolved by a organic fertilization. Organic fertilizers differ from chemicals, in that, they feed your plants while building the soil’s structure. Organic fertilizers is compost by several nutrients. Besides offering a wide spectrum of nutrients for the plants, especially when made from a wide spectrum of raw materials, compost also is a good source of organic matter.

Manejebem | Carol But I have already provided these seedlings with 50% of the potting mix being Vermicompost which is a great compost. They were in similar potting mix before being transplanted into big conatiners and they were doing fine

Suresh Gollar Suresh ji. Thanks for your reply. I have taken care of pests now. There are no more pests so if it was because of thrips it should recover Regarding Early blight, I believe this tomato variety is resistant to Early blight, Tomato leaf curl virus and Bacterial wilt so the reason has to be something else. Thanks again

Shri Sharad Namdeorao Gulhane Sir, you may be right. I could be any of mosaic virus, tomato or cucumber. Tobacco virus is also a possibility. But I am not 100% sure. It could also be due to some nutritional deficiencies. I will try to revive them with providing them some NPK first and wait for couple of days to see if the situation improves. If not, then virus should be the reason for this problem

If coco peat is not decomposed well , EC of Coco pest is Very high.

Pg EC of cocooeat is well below 500 ppm. I have checked it. The only reason i can think of now is most probably viral infection. Leaves are curling a lot now. No new growth. Chlorosis is not present yet but i cant think of any other reason Its been 2 weeks since i have transplanted these seedlings and they have stayed the same size
