Leaves on Beets Turning Brown

Question

What is causing the leaves on my beet plants to turn bown? About half the leaves on my beet plants, which are only about 4 inches high so far, are turning yellowish or (mostly) brown. Only a portion of each leaf is changing color, about half of each leaf is still green and healthy looking. Can’t see any bugs or mildew.

Only about 1/2 the leaves are affected.   The other half look a healthy green.   The leaves that are affected have about 1/2 the leaf looking healthy, the other half turning brown, and as the leaves age, the affected part of the leaf seems to rot.

Answer 1

This indicates a watering issue. Either they are underwatered or over watered. Unless you see standing water, it is unlikely that it is overwatering. Try increasing water to the plants.
