    just found these black spots on one of potatoe plants. is it the dreaded blight. i have three sacks with spuds in only one has the black spots.
    i have cut of the affected foliage and put it in the rubbish bin. is it likely to reappear and affect the other plants.
    all advice appreciated

    Doesn't look like blight but I could be wrong.

    Have the brown spots turned into little holes ?

    Hi Grubby. I think it is too early for blight so is probably a form of blackspot, but the way our growing conditions are changing who knows? David.
