Help identifying blueberry problem

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and would appreciate any help identifying a possible disease on rabbiteye blueberry bushes that were planted last week. I live in upstate South Carolina and purchased the bushes from a local nursery. Is this a possible fungal leaf spot? Thanks

Steven

My guess it is fungal. Probably mildew. A bordeaux fungicide would probably work as a preventive. Remove infected leaves and discard them. Good sanitation is a must. Make sure the plants have good air ciculation and try to keep the leaves dry. Blueberries like a very acidic pH.
