Bean disease

Salaam · August 13, 2018

Hello all,

Not that I have time to do anything about it, but my beans - pole in earthtainer and bush in ground - seem to have some type of fungus. Any suggestions?

check them for spider mites. that looks like the damage from them and not a disease. spray them with insecticidal soap or even dish soap (but don't wash that off, let it dry) top and bottoms of the leaves.

+1 for CarolynK! They can be tough to control but be persistent, and clean up well at the end of the season.

You're right! They're like sticky dust.

I sprayed with my little one litre sprayer about a teaspoon of neem, a teaspoon of dish soap, and a litre of water. Let's see.
