I'm having some issues with cones turning brown from either disease/fungus
or pests, any ideas what this could be or what I might try to halt its spread?
These are just picked cones from my Columbus and Nugget.
On the remaining plants it seem to be very few cones but I haven't noticed any issue until tonight, I picked all I could find (about 6 cones) however I saw similar browning on my Cascade and Centennial where it affected dozens of cones, I probably discarded 30% of those hops.
It seems like it might start at the bottom of the cones and many of seem like they have been eaten as well?
The first pic seems like it's been eaten near middle and top of cone.
Thanks!
