Potato Crop Under Threat: Act Now to Combat Cold, Blight & Aphids
- •Cold temperatures increase the risk of frost damage to potato crops.
- •Early blight, a fungal disease, spreads rapidly in winter, causing leaf spots and shriveling.
- •Late blight thrives in 10-19°C and rain, capable of destroying entire crops.
- •Aphids (pink/green insects) suck sap from leaves, weakening plants and reducing yield.
- •Timely action is crucial to prevent heavy losses from these combined threats.
