Organic Potatoes. Pathways to Coping without Copper.
Advancing organic potato production through disease-resistant varieties and copper-free blight management strategies
or
Detail description
Potato late blight is one of the most serious crop diseases in the UK. It can reach epidemic proportions very quickly and affects organic and non-organic growers alike. Organic growers have access to few direct fungicides and there are limitations to existing cultural control measures. This document explores some of the challenges faced by organic growers looking at both tried and tested growing methods and immerging innovative solutions. It is not a comprehensive guide but spotlights particular key areas.
