My winter beans had a second fungicide of Alto elite around 9th June but are now succumbing to rust.
My spring beans only had CTL about 3 weeks ago and are just starting to show rust.
The winter beans I’m not bothered about as in the last few years they have been ready in the first half of August anyway but the spring beans only finished flowering last week.
With pods on the spring beans only just filling is it worth spraying?

Definitely.

on the upside a spray now may protect yield, on the downside it may push harvest back 2 or 3 weeks which could make the difference between combining at 14% and combining at 22%... but you are in the East not the West so it is probably not such an issue.
