Default Brussel Sprout Problems


"Jeannie" wrote in message
Just wondered if anyone could help me out with identifying a problem with

my
brussel sprouts.

The plants are still quite small (approx. 9" high) and they have been out
for a couple of weeks. They have been looking really healthy up until

now.
Last night I noticed that some of the plants seem to have small holes in

the
leaves. Also, on the underside of some of the leaves are white flaky bits
which fall off when you touch the leaf. They don't look too bad at the
moment but I want to nip any diseases / pests in the bud at the early

stage.
Any ideas (organic if possible)?


Flea Beetle! Use Derris dust on the plants.
