If spots begin to appear on the berry leaves, this indicates that something is wrong with the plant.

As a rule, we are talking about various diseases.

What do the appearance of spots on strawberry leaves indicate?

Brown spot

Most often, summer residents who do not thin out their berry beds in a timely manner encounter the disease. It is easy to identify the disease: fairly large burgundy-colored spots appear on the leaves.

Anthracnose

This disease can be called extremely dangerous, as it threatens the life of the plant. At first, small spots or even dots of a reddish hue can be noticed on the leaves.

Afterwards they become darker in color as the disease progresses.

White spot

At first, you will notice small spots on the leaves. However, if you ignore the disease, they will become larger.

A characteristic sign of the disease is a white spot in the center of the affected part of the plant.
