on the flowers?
Question:
Does it hurt the production of tomatoes if you get fungicide spray on the flowers?

Fungicide does not affect tomato production. Of course, if you heavily spray directly into the flower it may affect that flower but spray should be directed at the leaves. Also, tomatoes are not insect pollinated and fungicide generally does not affect insects.
