Hello Debra,

Thanks for reaching out to the UNH Extension Infoline.

There are several fungal diseases that cause similar looking lesions on blueberry leaves. I am leaning toward septoria leaf spot but it's difficult to tell exactly.

My recommendation would be to send in a plant sample to the UNH Plant Diagnostic Lab for analysis. This will give you positive confirmation and will allow you to take the appropriate steps.

Here is a link to the Plant Diagnostic Lab with information on how to send in a sample.


I hope this helps and please ask if you have any other questions!
