Blight Warning

Hi all,
     I've received a blight warning for my area (Coulsdon, Surrey) this afternoon. What do I do now?!
     Does the warning of a smith period mean definate blight, or should I either keep my fingers crossed or take some kind of preventative measure?
    Cheers, Dicci.

Not necessarily, but it quite often means blight. It only means, the perfect conditions for blight to occur on your crop.

Taking precautions is advisable. Otherwise, there is little point to subscribe for a warning, is there?

Have a look at this thread.

You obviously are familiar with some of the advice as you're registered to receive Smith Period warnings.

Use these in conjunction with the link to the blight map which will show if there is any blight near you. At the moment there are no outbreaks reported in the UK.

The two together will enable you to judge better whether to take any action.

IS there any reports of blight in south Yorkshire yet.  mine look ok for now just in need of some water with this heat

we have a full Smith period and one of the OBs has 'blight', doesn't look anything like it to me.......but he said 'how would you know'  ...........he obviously knows everything of course

There are still no reported cases in the UK (as DD said  )
