Protecting tubers from Blight warning! – August 2024

After some periods of very conducive weather conditions and recent temperature ranges, reports of Potato blight outbreaks are now increasing across the UK. Growers are advised to respond with robust blight control strategies and pay careful attention to protecting tubers from the high risk of infective blight spores.

Keeping up a strong programme with different actives to maintain blight-free foliage is now vital for protecting tubers and yields, especially in crops where planting was later this season.
