French beans HELP !!

vegmandan · « **on:** June 30, 2008, 19:10 »

Some of my climbing french bean leaves in the polytunnel have develloped this pattern and I am at a loss to what it is.

It is only on a couple of plants in the row and only on the middle leaves of those plants as you can see in the photo.

I thought it might be halo blight but not so sure.

Any ideas ?

Sorry me dear, that's Halo Blight :!:

OH Cack !! :evil:

I've just googled it and discovered that it comes directly from a bacteria on the seed itself :?

Do you reckon I can ask T&M for my money back ?

It's worth a try !

I've just looked it up in Hessayon and it says:

Small brown spots on leaves each one being surrounded by yellow 'halo'.
Pods develop water-soaked spots.
Plants are stunted and yields are reduced.
Attacks are worse in wet seasons.

Treatment: Lift and destroy diseased plants.

Prevention: Practice crop rotation. Never soak seeds before sowing.

PS Try to post smaller piccies please, 500 pixels wide is good
