Overwatered beetroot
Identifying Features[edit | edit source]
Leaves show blotchy, moist extremities. ... or is that a picture of the dreaded leaf miner? Check underneath for clusters of small white eggs < 1mm long but thin. The egg cases often hang on after the larva has set off on its trail of destruction. Plenty of guidance elsewhere on treatment.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Cut back on the watering. Give the leaves a chance to repair, if they remain in poor state remove them.
Prevention[edit | edit source]
Only water in very dry weather.
