Problem with potato leaves

[vixylix]

Hi all,

I'm having a few problems with my potato leaves. Its just the odd few leaves. I thought it might be blight but a week later its not really spread and certainly still all looks healthy

Any thoughts?





Thanks

Sorry Vix, I don't know. It doesn't appear to be blight (especially after leaving it for a week) I'd be inclined to remove any affected leaves and see what happens.

Have a few similar vix, i put it down to sunburn.

I have lots like that Vix, sunburn and/or windburn. They've had it all this season

It looks like early blight aka Target Spot, to me - the spots are usually only visible on old leaves as younger leaves are more resistant.
Remove the spotted leaves to stop it spreading, it isn't virulent like late blight, and more likely under drought conditions. Tubers are only rarely affected unless they are on the surface

A magnesium spray may well help in some cases.

Armed with that knowledge I'm going to check over my spuds today, thanks Thelma

Yes I go with early blight too. Not usually much to worry about
