👉Ontario potato fields, particularly in Southwestern Ontario and Norfolk County, are facing late blight as August begins. Dr. Eugenia Banks of the Ontario Potato Board reports that most fields have undergone top-killing. Early chipping varieties are being harvested with satisfactory yields, but high temperatures risk soft rot. In Melancthon and Alliston, fields show varying gth stages, and gers are using preventive fungicides against late blight and other diseases. Syngenta stresses thorough spray coverage for effective protection. Phosphorous acid is crucial for tuber protection in August. Home gardens, especially with infected tomato plants, pose a risk to commercial fields.✅ . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.
