Diagnosis Needed

bigcheef · July 13, 2006

My guess is that this Lime Green Salad plant is experiencing late blight. Leaf edges are turning dark grey / black and blossoms are falling off.

Any ideas on treatment would be appreciated. I plan to use Daconil unless other treatment is suggested.

Thanks,

Are you seeing any lesions other on the leaf edges? A common and good description of what one will see with late blight is 'irregular, greenish-black, water soaked lesions'. How do the stems look?

Stems look fine.

Seems that only the leaves and blossoms are affected. I haven't really noticed it spreading so I may just go ahead and begin spraying tomorrow.
