Spuds - Possible Problem??
« on: May 27, 2009, 19:42 »
Hi all... I've just come back from the lottie and noticed one or two of my Maris Piper plants looked a little worse for wear (sorry about the quality of the pic)... I checked the plants and no sign of anything, no slugs, snails, so not sure what it could be.... any idea's anyone?

looks like a pest problem to me. The keel slugs attack the spuds from below and you never see them. I am using nemaslug to solve the problem.

Should I be worried?... as this is only happened to 2 plants do I need to treat the whole of the spud patch?
