please can somebody tell me what this looks like, and what to do if my plants have got it, the problem seems to be on the lower leaves and looks like yellow spots which get bigger and then they turn a sort of transparent browny colour.  Have got quite alot of cucs.  The plants are in the greenhouse in growbags.  thanks, Mrs Bouquet.

Images by some hawiian dude.....

The main point is that the virus is transmitted by aphids, so you have to be ruthless with the chemical warfare now. Also, it can spread to tomatoes and other curcurbits such as celery, lettuce, spinach, and DOZENS of flowers.

Any photo chances, Mrs Bouquet, can be a few things, does not sound alarmingly as a cucumber virus though.
