Spots on Swiss Chard #751964

Are you able to identify the spots on my Swiss chard, and advise treatment? I have attached two photos. Thank you, Mike Reynolds

Expert Response

Hello

Thanks for your question.

From the photo, it appears like sunscald.  Make sure you are watering at the base of the plant and try to avoid water on the leaves.  Pick off these affected leaves and dispose of.  Also, try to water in the a.m. rather than during the day or in the evening.

If this problem persists after you follow the above recommendations, please submit another question.
