Septoria Leaf Spot?
Comments (13)The reason I asked if there were divots on the leaf, is because there is a similar type of appearance to leaves worked upon by the four lined plant bug. I grew mums commercially for many years and one year had a good deal of damage to the crop, seemingly overnight, on a few benches, having never seen the insects on the plants I scouted regularly. The plant inspector was shown the material (entymologist) and identified it as four line plant bug aftermath. Sure enough, after scouting the crop, I found them. I am seeing them this year in my vegetable garden and suspect the pressure is high this year. I'm not saying your crop doesn't reflect ozone damage, but I've heard that diagnosis applied to plants before by experts and had it not be so. Is there a manufacturing facility nearby? I was a grower for a nursery once and pinpointed some foliar damage by industrial fumes on a particularly susceptible line of plants....See MoreSeptoria leaf spot
Comments (2)how recently ... can we see a pic??? it may have been heading toward dormancy in IA ... and i am wondering.. if its just not time to cut it back ... rather than treating a leaf disease ... here in MI.. which is very close to IA weather wise.. i cut down moms phlox two weeks ago ... they were done for the year.. suffering from PM.. spotted leaves etc ... in other words.. dont compare your new import.. to the status of your current plants ... isolating it not near your others.. until those are ready to cut down.. would be approved ... ken...See Moreseptoria leaf spot, bacterial leaf spot, neither?
Comments (7)From the research I've just been doing on my early blight, which is what I see on yours (not the dreaded late blight), you need to get ALL of the affected leaves off there, because the spores are easily transferred from leaf to leaf, and yes, continue spraying. Serenade is an organic spray that's often recommended, and Daconil is also very popular (I don't know if it's organic though). And when you pluck off all those leaves (very carefully, so as not to spread the spores even more), you should bag them up very carefully and tightly, or burn them. Don't compost them, because you'll just be incubating the spores into your compost, which will cause further trouble. Good luck! We're in NJ and were nailed by the same rainy weather you probably had, so it's been quite the uphill battle for us too....See MoreI hate Septoria Leaf Spot!
Comments (11)Sunshine...I feel your pain...hate is an OK word to use....it's emotional when you try so hard and your efforts are thwarted. I've never used a fungicide but will research it also. My problem is that it is very labor intensive to apply (especially with 76 plants) and every time I attempt to spray we get a downpour. Perhaps less plants and a concerted effort to find a good organic fungicide and apply it from the get-go will delay the inevitable...there's always next year. Hang in there, you're not alone.
