Cucumber Leaf Mottling #874925

Asked June 27, 2024, 9:52 AM EDT

Hi, I have a cucumber (Shintokiwa variety) that has a leaf with some bright green splotches. My first thought was Mosaic Virus but I can't find photos that line up exactly. The rest of the plant is fully healthy (other than some minor insect chewing here and there) with normal fruit developing, and I couldn't find a single splotch on the rest of the leaves. Nevertheless, should I cull the plant to protect the rest of my crop?

Hi- we cannot tell for sure what caused that leaf symptom.

We don't think you need to remove the plant. Continue to monitor your cucumber plants and send us photos if symptoms change or worsen.
