Blotchy Rhubarb
« on: April 30, 2010, 22:38 »
Can anyone suggest what is causing this condition to the rhubarb leaves. It only seemed to appear since we had a little rain this week?   Also how to fix it.

I'm queen of my own compost heap and I'm getting used to the smell.

Are you sure there are no tiny insects on the back of the leaves?

How many of the leaves have this yellow "blotch"?

Is it just those at the top of the plant and does the rest of the plant seem to be suffering?
Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.

Thanks guys.  Seems all the leaves are affected on this plant, not sure about any insects will look later.  - Acid rain - never thought of that!  Other rhubarbs around which have smaller leaves are not affected.

It might be a nutrient deficiency.... perhaps due to being weakened by some nasty little critters...  :unsure:

This might help: Rhubarb leaf problems!

It seems more likely to have been causd by a fungal infection  :tongue2:
