How to Save Potatoes From Early Blight
Early potato blight threatens crops from mid to harvest, peaking in July and August. Professor Kolver recommends spraying early plantings when small and continuing every ten days until leaf dieback reaches one percent, with more frequent spray in wet weather. Bordeaux mixture at 25–35 gallons per acre is used early, rising to 50–75 gallons as plants grow, with late varieties treated after early growth shows disease signs.
