Spray For Late Blight
And Rot of Potatoes
Late blight of potatoes develops dur
ing wet weather. Spore production,
dissemination and germination take
place only under moist conditions. In
dry seasons late blight does not de
velop, as the fungus cannot become ac
tive. In years when there is abundant
moisture In the form of rnin, fog or
heavy dew;!, particularly in the latter
part of the season, the disease becomes
epidemic, says the New York State Col
lege of Agriculture.
Spray the vines with bordeaux mix
ture thoroughly and often. A 3-3-50
(three pounds copper sulpbute, three
pounds hydrated or stone lime, fifty
gallons of waler) bordeaux is strong
enough to prevent blight, but on ac
count of stimulation to the vines a
4-1-50 or a 5-5-50 mixture is advan
tageous.
Spray first at the time when it Is
usually necessary to apply poison for
bugs. The insecticide can be added
directly to the bordeaux.
Spray often enough to cover and to
protect new growth. This will be about
every two weeks. During the latter
part of the season, when danger from
blight becomes greater, spray more
frequently.
Spray before the rainy periods rather
than after them. Study the weather
forecasts.
Spray with at least two nozzles to
each row when making the liter ap- i
plications. This is necessary iu order
to do a thorough job. From seventy
Ave to a hundred gallonf of the spray
mixture will f»e required to cover an
acre when the vines are large. Spray
late in the season.
