Can someone take a look at this and tell me what is wrong? Could it be damage from fungicide spray on young leaves and now showing up? Thanks.

Croley, It looks to me like insects. If you will look something has been EATING the leaf around the veins of the leaf. Looks like there may be some heat damage as well.

They burned when the leaf was young. I have a plant full of them !

heat burn. Now some sprays will make the leaves burn easier, but that is from the sun !

Mine has looked just like yours, and we have had temperatures in the high nineties all week.

Hi Croley,

I'm no expert, but I think something is eating your leaf. I have had insect damage and heat damage. I'm thinking SCTROPER is right, you have or had some guests.

My vote is for insects, too. Are you using any insecticides?

Yep, Im using insecticides, it could be insects, but no more, they are not interested any more. I used garlic spray also and you could really see them cuke beetles flying away. Thanks everyone for your help. Its 101 heat index today and more to come.

The problem wirh your leaves is burn from the sun ! No insect would eat such an area , the leaf outter margin dose'nt show bites or chewing.
