  • Cucumber disease

    I know this is fruit really but seems most logical sub-forum.
    My Greenhouse Cucumber plant (min F1 all female) has developed what looks like brown scab on many leaves …. Is this Anthracnose ? If so should I try and get some anti-fungus treatment. Assume it was the Hot Wet weather last month.
    Or should I take off the good fruit and destroy it.
    They are container grown (Quad Grows) so it’s not in the soil.

    Is it on all the leaves, can you remove the worst and destroy them, does the new growth also have this problem?

        I am removing some of the old leaves from my ridge cukes that are discolouring, there's plenty of new growth/flowers and fruits, so I don't think it harms the plants, if you remove yours I wouldn't put them in your compost, just in case yo spread the problem.

          It might just be scorching from sunlight.
          We did get quite a bit of sun without aircraft trails in the sky.
