Brussels Sprout Infestation
Dear All,
Some of my brussels have developed fairly large (several cms diameter) dense grey patches on the upper surfaces of the leaves. At first sight it looks just as if somebody had poured water on them and then emptied the contents of an ash tray on top - they are raised and look somewhat fluffy. Around the patches the leaves are starting to yellow and shrivel a little. At first I thought, fungal infection. But the symptoms don't really seem to match what my books tell me about powdery mildew or grey mould. On closer inspection the patches look more like aphid colonies - little grains that occasionally move. I've seen brown aphids and green aphids, but never grey before, so I'm still not sure. Can anyone identify this, and, even better, recommend treatment? Many thanks, Ben -- Ben Edgington Mail to the address above is discarded.
