Title: To spray or not to spray ?
Post by: Offwego on June 08, 2015, 21:40

Other plotholders on our site are all beginning to panic as one plot has some spuds that look like blighted.
He is in hospital and I feel its a lack of water but the others are merrily spraying anything that moves

my maincrop are sarpo mira which are meant to be blight resistant - so my query is would you spray or not??

Sarpo Mira dont need spraying.  They are very resistant and will grow through it.

If you check the blightwatch.co.uk map, there is one unconfirmed report of possible blight in the UK and that is in Scotland..
