Re: [MittleiderMethodGardening] Potato plants infected.

 

Are you sure that you do not have late blight on those potataoes.  IF so,  the spores blow 30 feet.  Go to google and click the image tab and type in potato blight.  The pictures will come up.  See what they say.  Just a thought.  Since the spores blow,  tomatoes will also get this blight from the potatoes.  It is deadly and it caused the Irish potato famine in the late 1800's.

My potato plants are being destroyed. I've looked at the most common potato diseases and I believe it is one of the various related potato viruses. It has spread to about half a row of potatoes. It starts with the leaves which develop small brown spots. Eventually the leaves all shrivel and die, followed shortly by the stem. I've tried removing the infected leaves but it continues to spread. Many potato viruses are spread by aphids but I don't see many signs of inset damage.

Is there anyway to save the remaining plants?
