Clarksburg, MD 20871Q.Green Bean Plants Are Yellowed With Brown Patches And Darker Veins.
Have never seen this in over 50 years if gardening. I started no-till, raised-bed gardening two years ago. Last year, the beans were good. I did not add any fertilizer, thinking the decomposing mulch created enough nutrients. I mulch with pine needles and add lime to the soil. Have been doing this for many years with no problems. Plants have been covered by fine mesh netting, due to rabbits. I added some fertilizer after the leaves started to yellow, but saw no improvement. We have been under severe drought conditions until recently. Basically, the main difference is not tilling the soil, just digging down two, three inches to plant. I may have sent this question twice. Internet failed as I was sending the first time.

Certified ExpertA.That reminds me, a lot, of the common bacterial blight. To effectively treat blight, it is important to follow a few key steps. Firstly, remove and destroy any infected plant material to prevent the spread of the disease. Secondly, practice good sanitation by regularly cleaning and disinfecting tools and equipment used in the garden. Additionally, ensure proper plant nutrition by Implementing crop rotation and avoiding overcrowding of plants can also help prevent the disease. Finally, consider using fungicides as a last resort, following the instructions and recommendations provided by the manufacturer. Regular monitoring and early detection are crucial for successful treatment of blight. These articles will help:

Certified ExpertA.You are in hardiness zone 7b and I've included a link to your average last frost date. Green beans should be planted after the last frost date. You may want to build up the soil or plant in a raised bed to avoid too much water on your beans.

Certified ExpertA.Here are the most common pests of green beans. Since the plant needs leaves to produce food, that may be the end of these plants that were reduced to stems. You can use row covers to protect plants from insects, especially those that fly. For seedlings you can use paper cups. Cardboard collars can help against cutworms.
