Title: Spotty broad beans
Post by: Mrs Ava on July 28, 2004, 18:06:13

Sorry to bring broad beans up yet again, but as I mentioned on an earlier posting, I hacked back all the top growth and now have  a lovely crop of new leaves and flowers sprouting.  However, the leaves are speckled with brown.  Please don't tell me it is the darn blight that is all over my lottie toms.  :-[

Ej,
    Have you been watering from the top
with a rose on can at all??
Because the beads of water act like little magnifying glasses and if sun appears it burns brown patches on leaves .. If so always water from bottom without the rose on ..Just a thought.,, Jim

Me, water on the allotment....not a chance!  I leave that to mother nature.  Nope, this definately looks 'iffy'.  Oh what joy, yet another dodgy disease spreading across my allotment!  Begining to think I should dose it with Domestos to kill all germs DEAD! (even under the rim!! :o ;D)

E-J, I'm not far from you and I took my 'second-flush' broad beans out because I thought that they had 'chocolate spot'. According to my book late sowings are very prone, and I took this to include second comings of early sowings too.

Could be?

If it is, it may affect stem, pods, flowers & beans. Spray, if you wish, with carbendazim. = Tim
