The only treatment I've found is to spray with Benelate, but this has been withdrawn from the market and I haven't found any alternatives.

Not Benelate with drawn as well?! <need a hopping up & down in rage smiley> What a good job that there may be the odd sachet lurking in a spot I may know  8) Don't guarantee it, but anyone in N. Yorks is welcome to pm me.

Do you think it is due to better ventilation?

No, I just think the plants were weak and weedy in the G'house... we have been growing them in pots with the bottom cut out but for far too long in the same beds... think I will resite the G'house for next year!!!
