Marion County Conservation Board and Iowa Conservation Commission built 3x3 foot segments with 14 uprights, sunk in 10 to 12 feet of water, and marked by buoys to help anglers.

Tomato Blight Prevention and Control Guide
Readers seek steps to curb tomato blight including resistant varieties and seed catalogs. Rotate crops to break soil inoculum, as some disease overwinters. Use sprays or dusts with fungicides and insecticides, often mixed, such as Sevin with Zineb, Malathion with Capton, Rotenone, or Sulphur. A spray mix of 3 percent Seoni, 5 percent Zineb, and 20 percent Sulphur is suggested.
