What causes brown mould on gooseberries?

Our Advice:

This is American gooseberry mildew, which can ruin your plant if not treated. Sprays of Systhane Fungus Fighter from Bayer or Natural Fungus & Bug Killer from Scott's will help. Keep the plants well watered and feed them a general fertiliser such as Vitax Q4.
