Potential for late blight from volunteer potatoes in Michigan

The Late Blight Risk Forecasting (LBRF) website with its 2015 risk estimation for potential survival of potato volunteers in Michigan is now available through Michigan State University Extension.

During the past three years, the LBRF website has monitored and recorded overwinter soil thermal conditions for the survival of volunteer potatoes.
