Hi all

I have 3 2m rows of early potatoes sowed about 2 weeks apart - sorry can't
remember the variety.
The rows are close (about 18").
All looked healthy until about 4 weeks ago The leaves of the older plants
have yellowed with brown spotting.
I have googled and find it may be iron, potassium, calcium deficiency - not
clear which.
We have dug 2 plants which yielded reasonable size, but low number of
potatoes.

Is there anything I can do at this late stage to recover the
situation/improve the quality or volume of yield?

The youngest row has not yet succumbed.

TIA

Phil


Mine died because I sprayed stuff on them and don't know what it was.
There's some right bobbly spuds come out though - someone said that
was excess lime (didn't put any on) and someone else said it was
blight and someone else said he has blight on the brain... (Spuds had
some brown mushy bits on and were black underneath if you cut them...)
