Illinois College of Agriculture plant pathologist M B Linn warns home gardeners to apply protective fungicides to stop losses from late blight. The disease starts as greenish black, water soaked leaf patches with gray downy growth on moist surfaces, spreading to fruits. Bordeaux or fixed copper sprays, Dithane Z-78, Parzate, and careful mixing for Bordeaux solution help control when timely applied.
The advice recommends buying fungicide from grain or seed stores and applying weekly to ten day intervals to wet all leaves and fruit. For row crops, about 200 gallons per acre are required. If late blight is present, spray every four to five days until the disease is controlled.
