Salt Damage?

FILMNET · August 20, 2013

Very possibly Salt damage, this plant is beside my neighbors driveway. And the grass and 2 flowers plants got nasty and died in Feb snow. Is this salt damage?

Is the plant in the ground or in a container? If it's in the ground, salt damage is a possibility if the yellowing is on the older leaves, but N or Mg deficiency is possible too.
Looks like a little bit of Septoria in the first picture too.

Looks like it could be salt damage to me. I gardened until this month in El Paso, where the water is very salty. I had that type of damage, wound up putting in a ro unit, and it got a lot better.

hi,

could you post some overal plant photos, and close up photos of those black spots, both front and back leaf side?
also, are the plants stunted, deformed, unusually shaped, etc., and is there anything unusual with the stems and new growth there?
finally, for how long were your plants in the ground untill this appeared, did the symptoms appear on the oldest leafs first, and at what speed this thing develops?
sorry, i know i bother people so much with so many questions

.

br,
ivan

Well I have 14 plants different ones of Brads, which look very sick like last years.It takes a week for each plant to die i thoght i had a fungus last year and was told it will be in ground for a few years. But in 12 days we are leaving this home which was in my wife's family since 1853, moving down south. Charleston S.C. Also i will have a ton of green tomatoes I am bringing down.
