View my Diary I just added some photos.
I'm not sure if this is just regular leaves that die
back normall or if its PM kicking into gear, if it was PM
wouldnt it be all over the patch in different locations
specially were the plants grow out into the long grass
or does it normally start at the stump of the plant and work its way outward.

Thanks

Can you phtograph just the 2 sides of a leaf at close range in 2 seperate images?

That doesn't look like PM. First thoughts are:

Brown leaf edges = Spray injury.
Yellowing leaves = N deficiency, SVB feeding, Mites, or waterlogged rootzone.

But any number of other things could cause this too.

Ya the week I was gone was cool with ALLOT of rain

my first spray of fungicide in around first week of June
i put on a bit heavy and those were the leaves on which is was applied heavy to ( accidently) so possibly thats my answer right there.. there are no moldy white spots
so may it was the fungicide i'll see if it spreads more or
not

how would i know if i have SVB ? them borers?

thanks in advance
