18 Jul Operation spray less: Watershed groups keep watch for late blight in P.E.I. potato fields
Watershed groups across PEI are monitoring for late blight spores in potato fields, a collaborative effort funded by the PEI AgriWatershed Partnership. This program aims to reduce agricultural runoff and build relationships between farmers and watershed communities.
Using spore traps, groups like the Winter River-Tracadie Bay Watershed Association collect and analyze spores weekly, providing crucial early warnings to farmers. This helps manage spray schedules effectively, reducing chemical use and fostering strong community ties.
