Potatoes Saved by Early Spraying Against Blight

Fielding grower Henry Burratt reports a successful potato crop free from blight after adopting Bordeaux mixture spraying. He sprayed six times from December to February using Strawson sprayer, with 60 gallons per acre at high bluestone rates, and credits disease resistant varieties and early, frequent spraying for the outcome. The wet season aided blight spread, but Burratt plans to repeat the method next year.
