Thanks for your ideas. There may be some kind of fungus on the leaves (I
usually see signs of powdery mildew late in the season on sunflowers).
However, the real problem right now is whatever is consuming the leaves as
described. I need to identify that before I can take any measures.

(Sorry to hear about the storm damage to your plantings.)

Best,

Tyra,

In my area we have a LOT of problems with Japanese Beetles
eating the sunflower leaves. I use insecticide soap (very
safe to use on any plants) and it helps but you have to
re-spray it after every rain.
