Default Potato Problem

frostynick said:



Could someone please tell me what potato problem I have here?! The
leaves are curling up and the plants look as if they are dying off. It's
not affecting all the plants but I'm wondering if it will spread if I
don't take the diseased ones out.

It could be blackleg, a bacterial disease.

Yes, pull the affected plants as soon as possible.

(Has it been warmer and damper than usual?)
