Anyone any ideas. I have never seen this in 40 years of growing potatoes. Not insect eggs and the leaves eventually curl up and rot.



TIA

Hmmm....looks very much like Oedema...but I've never had potatoes suffering with it.
Has your plot suffered flooding recently or soil been other wise VERY wet ?

This is in the poly tunnel so more likely to have been very dry than very wet.
Thanks anyway.

Funy, that. We have some similar in the poly, next to lots that are fine ?
