Potato blight?

550Doug · Jul 2, 2022

My potatoes are just coming into flower and I see the leaves are starting to curl. It might be lack of water although we had about 1 inch of rain last week, so I'm thinking maybe potato blight. Any ideas on what can stop blight?
TIA

That sounds serious,you better get a expert to look at the field, soon! I am not a Potato grower, but some do here!

Blight is indicated by yellowing of the leaves, with lesions forming on the leaves. the plant will be dead in 24 to 48 hours. There are fungicides that will control blight but must be applied weekly until harvest, it is not cheap.

Move the potatoes for 4 to 5 years from that area ,put something else there.
