This is a non-scientific poll. - Steve

1.) Do your plants have yellow spots?

2.) Are you applying weekly fungicides? (if so which & what rate)

3.) At what stage did the sprays begin? (B4 or after spots)

4.) Have they worsened at all since starting?

This response reflects the replies I got at a growers meeting last night. No one showed any concern for a few yellow spots as a symptom of any correctable situation. Viewed it same as fall color in hardwood leaf changes that reveal color that was there "all the time" dominated, by the green, until fall changes take place.

yes. see the end of my diary pics for various leaf deformities and yellow spots, and their cause/cure. i took pics of problems caused by lack of minerals, nutrients,and water and too much of the same. i listed each pics cause and the cure that worked for me.

I don't think the majority of these *spot* are fungal. But the cost of .4 grams of Eagle, I shot ours anyway. Thanks for the input.
What is the verdict then? I'll wager it's just good old fasioned weather related stress causing nutrient mobility issues in confused plants. And for all of our efforts, some of us have caused more damage than we've corrected?

Easy on the rates & if we spray at all, abstain from spraying during or just prior to periods of stress.
