It is a time of the year when Alternaria, also known as Early Blight, can hit potato yields. This year’s variable weather could mean crops are even more at risk from the disease. In this second episode of Perfecting Potato Together, SRUC potato pathologist Ruairidh Bain discusses how to identify Alternaria and what you can do to prevent it taking hold. Paul Goddard, Stewardship and Value Chain Manager at BASF highlights the products you can use and gives us a sneak preview of a brand new solution due next season.
