Late Blight: Frequently Asked Questions By Gardeners, Growers, & Consumers
This Cornell factsheet is here.
Please try to refer callers to this fact sheet and specifically to this list of FAQ. Plant Clinic is still getting calls from homeowners who tell them they are calling their county CCE offices and cannot get any information on “the blight”. Please let any Master Gardener Volunteers who might be staffing the phones know they can direct callers to this site. Thank you!
Also, we have not received samples (or reports) of Late Blight from the following upstate counties: Chemung, Cayuga, Madison, Herkimer, and Montgomery. If anyone is seeing infected plants there, please let us know. Better yet, please send a sample.
Thanks again.

Please note that this map indicates counties where late blight has been confirmed but do not assume that late blight is not present in counties without reports. If you know of confirmed late blight in the “no report” counties please contact Abby Seaman (ajs32@cornell.edu).
