Help with my zucchini - what is wrong with the leaves!!

Posted by mbct72 Ct (My Page) on

Can anyone help this newbie identify what is wrong with my zucchini plants? We were out of town for a week, when we left everything looked healthy and then we returned to this. I suspect some type of fungus from overhead watering from our neighbors sprinkler, but not sure if there is anything I can do or if I should remove the affected leaves and if so, how?

Thank you!!

Here is one more image of how it looks like the problem is starting.

I'm not 100%, but it looks like it could be a severe nutrient deficiency.

What are your watering and/or fertilizing habits?

What type of soil is it growing in?

In the 2nd image, the dry leaf edges indicate the plants ran short of water.

Which could have damaged roots, thus caused deficiency like symptoms in the leaves. It's rather like dominoes -- one thing leads to another.
