kentucky wonder leaf problem

16 years ago

I noticed this evening that my kentucky wonder beans have leaves with yellow spots with a tiny brown center in them. this has happened overnite. never had this problem before and does anyone know what it is. I have harvested the first crop but now they are putting on new runners and blooms. wonder if this will cause them not to produce again.

Qumum, I've been growing beans for quite some time. I have noticed a problem like yours, even though the yield was good.
Since I'm not much of a worrier, I didn't -- and the beans got along nicely. It may be the extremely hot weather we had in the last two weeks. Kentucky Wonder are old, good, and proven.

It sounds like it might be rust. Google images for bean rust and see if it looks like your plants. If it is rust the brown part will rub off. I think you'll probably still have a good crop. Kentucky Wonders are considered rust resistant so I may be wrong.
