    There are more expert people than me here, but one cause could be magnesium deficiency. I cured yellowing leaves one year this way........

    cheers,
    Dave

    It could also mean that the potatoes are ready for harvesting! When were they planted?

    They were planted just under 2 months ago, there are larger plants in my crop that still have green leaves :)

    Not ready for harvesting then. Might be just in need of food and water as Dave says.
