Potatoes benefit from regular treatments, especially in cool wet seasons, to raise yields. Late blight remains a serious threat, with eight of 27 seasons affected in Indiana and a 1945 outbreak noted as most destructive. Include both insecticide and fungicide in treatments.

Light per acre applications are preferred and if spreading before plowing is not possible it can be worked into soil during disking for corn or soybeans. Timely soil incorporation and prompt application are key to effective manure use.
