Bean pest

[Nematode]

Beans are looking bad, pale poorly formed leaves, their nutrition should be good as everything else is growing on the same nutrient.

There are a few aphids, not many at all yet on the beans.
There is a distinctive black dust like speck spread along the veins of the underside of the leaves.
also saw one or 2 mite looking things, again not many at all.

i think the "dust" is the bad actor, any ideas what i got?

Thanks,

Sooty mold,I think.

Any chance its thrips excrement?
Entire garden is under stress, Beans are stunted with crinkled leaves, tomato has upside down leaves which I have noticed is a sign of aphids, i dont know if it is a sign of thrips or not. Sprayed with pyganic, Mycotrol will arrive in a couple days.
Last year sprayed with mycotrol once or twice and got a full season of protection.
It colonizes and hangs around in my garden, weeks after spraying i will find what looks like a tiny cotton ball with 6 legs, thats a fungus infected aphid.

I agree with Tracy that it is sooty mold. Besides the aphids, I would be looking for some possible beetles. The sotty mold is usually a second infection from something else. I've never seen thrips cause sooty mold before.
