Late Blight in Maine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Late blight has just been reported in potato plantings in coastal Maine (Woolwich) and an outbreak was reported in Penobscot County says Dr. Jim Dill, UMaine Extension Pest Management Specialist. Conditions for the development of late blight have been very good in Maine and growers should be on the alert to catch any early symptoms on their plants and be ready to apply appropriate control measures. Typical symptoms will be water-soaked lesions on the leaves with fine, white cottony mycelium on the undersides. Infections on the stems appear as dark, almost black lesions. For photos of the symptoms, go to UMaine Extension IPM Photo Gallery – Late Blight<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Late blight spores can travel over 40 miles under the right conditions (wet and warm) and the spread can be very fast. We are encouraging all growers to carefully and regularly inspect their plants for this disease. Please report any suspicious symptoms to the UMaine Extension Pest Management Office at 207-581-3883 or 1-800-287-0279 (in Maine) or e-mail PMO@umext.maine.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Samples can be sent to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pest Management Office
\n491 College Avenue
\nOrono, ME 04473-0279<\/p>\n

Samples should be sent in a sealed plastic bag with a dry paper towel to keep them fresh.
