What can we do about green bean rust? Such beautiful plants in our garden are going to be lost if we don't do something soon.

Neem oil is supposed to be effective against rust.

Rust is a major problem for snapdragons but I never thought to use neem. It really does help with mildew & aphids on the roses, however. Green beans sometimes end their season because of spider mites. They usually show up on the bush beans and I am not much concerned about pulling the plants. Pole beans have a longer season or, should have.

I have kind of drifted off the subject of rust on beans. Maybe neem oil would help, '4acres.
