Default Weird potato die-off


For the first time, I have grown Red Duke of York. The first lifting
was OK, though there were rather a lot of small abscesses that were
a bit like a cross between scab and wet rot, but all the tops have
started to die-off, too. I put the symptoms down to the weather,
but now I am unconvinced. The Belle de Fontenay immediately adjacent
appears unaffected, though I have not lifted any yet.

Any ideas?


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
