Spraying potatoes that have been sprayed recently

tenandtracer · 2009-07-02 11:32:15

Hi, I sprayed my potato plants with Bordeaux mixture on Monday afternoon ( I have a mix of pentland javelins, maris peer, blight resistant sarpo mira and charlottes). I see that the blight warning is still in effect. Given the torrential downpours last night should I spray again or would that do more harm than good.

You should get away with spraying about every 5 day or so in the blightiest of weather. No harm in doing them again. Although, I am not a big believer in that Bordeaux, mixture. Idea is good, but no way as effective as say Dithane 945 or the likes.
