Spraying Potatoes Boosts Yields and Profits
Research from the Ohio Experiment Station shows spraying potatoes with Bordeaux mixtures increases yield by about 75 to 100 bushels per acre and improves profit. Regular applications, using 4-6-50 Bordeaux mix or 20-20-6 lime copper, protect plants from pests and heat. A three-nozzle sprayer delivering 125 gallons per acre at 30 to 40 pounds pressure is recommended, with weekly sprays during hot July and August.
