Hey everyone! I need some help identifying what's happening to my pole beans. I have two pole beans and one Kentucky Wonder variety. I noticed some strange stuff on them and actually removed the affected leaves. I treated the plants with a neem oil mix, but a week later, it came back, and now there are white spots too. The affected leaves have the weird stuff, while my tomato plants and other beans in a different row look perfectly fine. Any idea what could be going on? Thanks for your input! I'll add photos in the comments since I can't post them here.

It looks like your beans might be dealing with a mosaic virus, but there’s also a chance it's a fungal issue. I’d recommend applying a fungicide just to be safe. If it gets worse, you might want to consider removing those plants altogether and treating the healthy ones as a precaution.
If you're seeing those white spots along with the cupping, it’s probably not just a mosaic virus. It's great that you’ve already tried neem oil, but keep an eye out for any other symptoms! Sometimes plants can bounce back if you give them a little extra care, like better airflow and regular checks. Good luck with your beans!
