Beans, Peas & Legumes

What is up with my yard long bean's leaves?

10 years ago

I have never grown beans before, so I planted some yard long beans in a SIP container along with an asian pepper, and japanese eggplant. The pepper and eggplant are doing great, but the beans are all having issues, with yellow/misshapen leaves. Can you look at these and tell me what the issue might be? Thank you!

This is an early photo after I transplanted them soon after sprouting. As you can see, the leaves are bumpy, misshapen, and yellow/brown. I've been picking off the bad leaves as best I can and spraying with a fungicide, thinking it was rust, but the plants are still having issues, but not as bad, as you will see below.

The white stuff is the fungicide.

This is sadly one of the better plants, but still exhibits some yellowing.

I live in Oklahoma, and we've had some rainy cool weather this spring. Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

Mine always look like that early in the season when it's cool. Once the heat hits they straighten out. I never bother picking off leaves or treating them, and they've always grown out of it. I keep reminding myself to plant them later so I avoid it, but I never listen to myself...

That is great, thank you so much for the information. Having never grown beans before, I am not sure what to expect yet. A couple of the plants indeed do look like they are doing better already!
