Brown spots on potato leaves???
« on: May 26, 2011, 19:25 »
Hi

Wondering if anyone could help me ID what the issue is with these brown spots on my potato leaves?  A couple of the different varieties are shwoing these marked leaves and I am growing them in containers.

Thanks

No, I'm fairly certain it's not blight !

Strawberry picture, but I thought that might have been an error on my part with them getting a bit of contact with the damp soil

I fed them about a week ago with a seaweed based fertiliser but I don't usually get the leaves when watering them

Possibly the M word, magnesium deficiency.
Cheese makes everything better.

It could be target spot (early blight) not a problem.  I would just remove the affected leaves to help to remove the sourcwe of the infection.  It doesn't affect the tubers!
