The latest results for Northern Aroostook (as of 7/3) are now available.
Growers are reminded to take care of cull piles and scout for any volunteer potatoes that may be occurring in rotation fields. There are more volunteers out there than I expected from the winter we had. Both volunteers and cull piles can serve as initial or intermediary sources of inoculum for a number of potato diseases and insects. Controlling these inoculum sources will help minimize disease and insect levels for the farm and industry.
