Reply To: Yellow Leaves on Sweetcorn

[Big D]

Hi Charles

One plant turned completely yellow very quickly and I have pulled it out, two or three others are starting to have the tips of their leaves turn yellow. This attack seems to be happening very quickly, in a matter of a couple of days. I live in Essex where we have had nearly record rainfall in June and wondered if might be connected?

Everything else is growing well except blight which has wiped out everyone’s potatoes and tomatoes on our 6 acre site.

I grow organically and no dig so never use weedkillers. I can’t think of anything different this year except the weather.

Thanks
