lush tomato plants, blooms, but no tomatoes
Doug says you don't say where you are - so I have no idea if you're looking at heat or cold stress to make the pollen sterile. Tomatoes are wind-pollinated as well as insect pollinated so if you're seeing reduce pollination you may be looking at a dearth of insects due to spraying.
Lush - depends on how lush? If you're overfeeding you may find a reduced yield.
All of these things can combine to really reduce crops.
No idea why "no" tomatoes. You'd have to check the area right behind the blossom to see if it's swelling after the flower dies. If not, then you're looking at a pollination problem. And that would be the first place I'd look.
Take your finger across the flowers - is there pollen there. (we can't tell if its alive) but at least it's there.
Physically pollinate plants by shaking the plants or using a brush or fingers to move pollen around on flowers.
Good luck
