  • White Growth on One of my Strawberry Plants

    Hello!

    I have 6 strawberry plants that I am growing in my greenhouse. They have started to grow fruits and 5 of the plants are looking really healthy. One of the plants, however, has a white substance on some of the leaves as well as one of the fruits.
    This is the first time I have grown strawberries and I read in my GYO magazine that strawberries suffer from mildew problems and cooled Camomile Tea can eradicate this.

    I need some advice on what this growth could be and how to get rid of it.

    Thanks for your help!

      Hi

      Here are a couple of photos of the damage to the plant. There are new shoots growing which seem to be unaffected.
      Thanks

        Yup that looks like powdery mildew, its a fungal disease. Bad air circulation in the GH can bring thia about.

        If you google strawberry powdery mildew you will pics and possible cures.

        Hope this helps Colin

          Oh I forgot get the infected plant out of the green house like now and keep it away from other susceptible plants.

          For your info strawbs don't need to be in a GH they do very well outdoors.
