Blight - Spot the Symptoms . Solve the Problem

look inside

Blight - Especially bad in damp weather. Leaves of potato and tomato plants develop spreading, brown patches with white mould on the underside. Blackened patches on stems and brown, shrunken areas on fruit are also sometimes seen. - SOLUTION: Potatoes – Spray with Bio Dithane 945 in early July and repeat every 10-14 days while the weather is warm and damp. Ensure all unwanted potatoes are removed from land and destroyed. Tomatoes – Sterilise greenhouses and equipment between crops. Spray with Bio Dithane 945 at first signs of disease and repeat every 14 days as necessary.
