    Yellow Splodges

    On my New/ First Early spuds :O

    on the leaves of one bag i got my seed potatos mixed up so im not sure which they are but about 5 sets of 3 leaves have yellow splodges on and its spreading now i have done a search on here and it said they might be ready to harvest if they are new potatos i had a rummage ( without damageing the plants ) and found nothing but i could only reach so far... the bag they are in has been topped up with compost and a small amount of grass cuttings ...

    what could it be??? help

                I ran it backwards after posting ^^^ & found .........

                Cause The Alfalfa mosaic virus is carried in tubers, but aphids can transmit it from alfalfa plants to potato plants by feeding first on infected plants and then probing noninfected plants. Nearby alfalfa fields or volunteer infected alfalfa plants in potato fields can be a source of inoculum.

                Symptoms Large, irregular, yellow to cream-color spots appear on leaves. Tubers may show internal brown necrotic areas.

                Cultural control The disease generally is not a problem that warrants special controls.

                Further info ...Alfalfa mosaic virus Wiki page


                But it could also be simply a haulm dying after frost like mine is,need picture of OP plant really
                OP there is an option under the advanced tab to copy images from camera direct to forum

                      Sorry Bexy, no idea. Apart from the yellow bits they are looking healthy. You haven't splashed them with fertiliser by any chance?

                        No No splashes of fertiliser .... do you think it could be them dieing off because they are gettin ready for harvest ? or could it be the Mosaic Disease?

                          Seems like it could be one of two things. The first being simple frost damage but in the weather lately i doubt that's unlikely unless it got hit before and you didn't notice.

                          The second and a bit more worrying is the early signs of mosaic virus. Have you noticed aphids on or around your plants? or do you smoke at all and touch your plants with out washing your hands?
                          Fingers crossed it isn't this and cut off the leaves and burn or bin them just to make sure!

                            Why don't you cut off the yellowing leaves and burn them and see what happens to the rest of the plant?
