Dr. Steven Kildea joins Shay Phelan on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast to talk about potato blight. 

Steven describes the conditions that favour the development of blight in a crop and also how to control the fungus.

Steven also discusses how a new strain of blight has been found in Ireland which has resistance to one of the popular fungicides used both commercially and by hobby growers.
