All of my hop plants have leaves that are turning brown. Most of it seems to be in spots though there are a few that also seem to have browning at the edges. There is some yellowing though the lighting in some of the pictures makes the brown look more yellow that it is in real life. There is also a couple, literally like two, leaves that clearly have been eaten by bugs. I have not been too worried about that since it is not much damage but I don't know if maybe I should do something about it now.
I have Sevin spray and Super Eight for bug killer but since one of my plants has started to put out cones I hesitate to use those especially if the browning is not pest related. I think it's fungus but I'm not sure I do have a general fungicide, Fung-onil with Chlorothalonil as an active ingredient, for gardens but again with cones coming in I'm not sure that's a good idea though it says most veggies can be harvested within a week or two after application so it may be ok. I also have general fertilizer if that is the issue.
The plants are of varied varieties and are all 2 or 3 years old. I'm not certain they all have the exact same thing but I do strongly think so. I'm adding pictures to help. I thought this may have started about a week ago but it was too light to be sure it wasn't just paranoia. I went out of town and after I got back it was obviously a problem. Other than this they are pretty healthy plants, they are all like 20 feet tall and I was looking forward to a great harvest since bugs and whatnot hadn't been bad this year.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
