LATE BLIGHT, A DREADED DISEASE IN THE GARDEN
Caused by a fungus (Phytophthora infestans), late blight is one of the most common vegetable garden diseases.
It generally appears when temperatures are a little cooler and humidity is high. Characterized by brown spots on leaves, fruits, branches or the whole plant, this disease can cause major losses and destroy the efforts of gardeners in their vegetable gardens. Indeed, once a plant is affected, it can quickly die.
Several preventive measures are available to protect plants. Examples include prophylaxis and technical itinerary management. Clause Home Garden contributes to the latter by offering a blight resistant range of varieties. In fact, preventing late blight starts with the right choice of varieties.
