Rfv-sense: (biology) a disease of plants, characterised by the presence of brown leaves
I see no evidence that brown leaf is a specific disease, rather than a condition like dry skin in humans.
Thus, this sense would seem to be NISOP. Contrast it with the other definition of a specific condition affecting a specific product of timothy grass. DCDuring (talk) 17:36, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

- I like that. From now on I'm using NISOP rather than SOP. bd2412 T 17:51, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

- Send to RFV – this is a question for citations. If we can find citations saying something like "The disease caused by E. plantkillerii, commonly known as brown leaf" or "The leaves only turned brown because of lack of water, not because of brown leaf", those would be evidence of a sense like this. —Granger (talk · contribs) 05:17, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

- I found "brown leaf rust", "brown leaf spot", and "brown leaf blight", but no "brown leaf" on its own. Kiwima (talk) 21:33, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
