Late blight reports in the past week:

From Chris Smart 8/22: I just confirmed late blight on potato from Monroe Co., NY (near Rochester). The field from which late blight was collected was about 15 acres with 5 varieties of potato. The late blight was identified in one area of one of the 5 varieties. This region of Monroe county had 9 inches of rain in 10 days, and the grower could not get into the field for two weeks. Gavel and Bravo have been applied, and the infected plants will be vine killed.
