Local Growers, Beware
E-mails obtained from Cornell Cooperative Extension show that the first reporting of late blight in the area was from a commercial grower on June 23. McGrath doesn’t believe the grower was close enough to Ellos to have caught late blight from his plant, but admits that it could be possible. Since June 23, she reports that a dozen cases - six commercial farmers and six home growers - have been confirmed in the area. Farmers have sprayed more than usual to combat the highly contagious disease that becomes more dangerous during cloudy, damp days, which have been no stranger as of late.

McGrath warns that home growers are at risk more than the commercial grower because of the difference in fungicides available to them, and overall knowledge about the disease. She likens the difference in chemicals available to an over-the-counter medicine and a prescribed medicine, as commercial farmers have licenses allowing for more potent products. But application of over the counter” sprays, vigilant observance, and proper disposal of infected plants should work for home gardens, she said. Clipping leaves and stems on the bottom of plants helps prevent obtaining late blight, as rain drops often bounce off the ground and wet the plant, making it more susceptible to attracting infected spores.

A report from Alabama in mid-May stated that they were having their worst tomato blight year since 1995. In Maine, it is crystal-clear that all of the infected tomatoes discovered June 24-26th in big chain stores from the southern coast to the northern tip of the state were part of a Bonnie shipment made a week earlier. Every store receiving the shipment had infected plants whoile tomatoes from other sources were free of symtoms. Despite much scouting by Extension and the potato industry, no blight had been discovered in the state previously. A major blight problem has since developed in gardens and small farms for miles around the source greenhouse.
