Default Potato yellowing

My dad says some of his potato plants are turning yellow on the leaves. The
whole plant is looking a bit deficient. He says he doesn't think it can be
a watering thing, as they are all getting the same watering. It shouldn't
be a light thing. But the ones that it's happening to (and it's one or two
in the row, not the whole row) are those nearest the lawn, so it could be
the weeds/grass sucking up some micro-nutrient or other.

Any suggestions? (if only for fixing next year if it's too late to recover
them this year)

Thank you


It is blight?
