Beet and Chard Leaves #750918

Asked May 19, 2021, 3:48 PM EDT

First time community gardener. Can you help me understand what is happening to my beet and chard leaves? I have been removing them as I notice the change. Thanks.

Expert Response

Thank you for your question, Elizabeth.  Your plants' leaves are infested with a leafminer, which you can read about here, along with control suggestions:  Chard, Swiss-Leafminer | Pacific Northwest Pest Management Handbooks (pnwhandbooks.org)

Hope this helps.  Good luck!
