New Chemical Halts Potato Blight
?prayed plant on left contratta aharply with eoppar traated plant on
right. Florida growora report 150 buehel per eere Inoreaee with new
eynthetlc fungicide.
Blight, one of the chief dee troy
era of potato crops, is the moet
treacherous enemy potato-growers
have to fight Sneaking Into fields,
the fungus attacks unprotected
plants, spreading with devastating
rapidity from field to field. Pro
moted by dampness, the Infection
makes Its most serious Inroads
during rainy weather when field
work cannot be done. The results
are poor yields of Inferior potatoes
or, when conditions are particu
larly severe, complete destruction
of crops.
Growers In major potato areas
are reporting spectacular success
fighting blight with a synthetic
fungicide known as Dlthane and
developed by the Rohm & Haas
Company. After an extensive test
ing program, the material, com
bined with zinc sulfate and lime,
was first Introduced commercially
In the Homestead potato-growing
area of Florida In the fall of 1944.
In 1944-46 Homestead growers re
ported field* (prayed with the for
mula averaged more than >00
buihels per acre, outyleldlng the
older copper fungicide* by more
than 100 buahela par acre In many
lnstanoee. Thla year, with sever*
blight condition*, the fungicide waa
uaed on more than 00% of the 1946
46 crop In the Homestead area, and
yield* from theee acreage* again
averaged over >00 buahela per acre
?contracting dramatically with the
11-year average of lit buahela per
acre prior to 1945, daring which
time copper fungicide* were uaed
exclualvely. One grower reported
the ontatanding yield of 519 buah
ela per acre. -
The fungicide la rapidly proving
equally aucceaaful In controlling
blight on tomatoea and celery. It
baa booated celery yielda by aa
much aa 100 packed crates an acre,
and In the Bradenton area of Flor
ida, the only tomato crops which
survived the blight this season
were protected by the material.
