Not entirely sure what these are, have essentially turned up today, have applied sulfur 3 weeks ago and applied Mancozeb today to see if it will help but starting to think this could be a pest issue?

What looks like white spots, leaves are not as vibrant green as they were a few days ago, see photo

Tufail Abbas I have pyrethrum on the shelf here or should i go straight for spinosad? I also have a lot of lady beetles around ive been trying to keep to assist with aphids. The lady bugs/lady beetles are roughly 30m away on some sunflowers at the moment but will likely move soon to the corn thats 20m away from these potatoes
