Potato blight may be controlled BY
the timely and thorough spraying with
Bordeaux mixture 4-4-5O formula sug-
gests F. T.. Mccall. State college ex-
tension specialist in horticulture This
formula is prepared as follows:
Dissolve pounds of sulphate in Is
gallons Of water. Stake pounds of
fresh limestone and dilute with 25
gallons of water Mix the two solu-
lions together and apply, mixing only
the amount necessary at one time.
Two and a half pounds of arsenate
may be added to the solution for con-
trolling the potato bug. Pyrox,
combination of both poison fungicide.
may be used instead
For controlling potato blight it is
advisable to begin spraying as soon as
the plants are from five to seven inch
es high and repeat every other week
Keep the new growth covered and re-
place the previously applied material
which has been washed Off 1t is adj
visable to spray after rains and often
during rainy weather. Spraying is of
a preventive nature-it is of no avail
once the disease has gained foot
hold.
Potato blight is fungus disease
and consequently finds warm moist
weather conditions ideal. It blights
the tops and may rot the tubers. at
least they fail to develop further. I'm.
