Blightline September 8
No new late blight has been reported in ND, MN or MB the past week. The only confirmed late blight this season was in central MN in processing potatoes, and that was late in the season; fungicides applied and fields killed to reduce late blight spread and severity. We have seen a few samples with bacterial soft rot due to some scattered late August rains, and some common scab. Otherwise, our crop looks very good and is of high quality.
