Late blight of potatoes reported in 1917
Late blight is identified as the most destructive potato disease in Maine, spreading rapidly in cool or wet weather and causing rot of tubers. Preventive steps include thorough Bordeaux spraying starting when tops are 6 to 8 inches high, with weekly to 10 day intervals. The Maine Agricultural Experiment Station offers guidance on request.
