Late blight situation 8 june |
Late blight is only slowly developing in the UK, the Netherlands and in the Nordic countries. In Norway and Finland only one attack is recorded in each country and both are in plastic covered potatoes. In Denmark only one attack is recorded - in a field experiment. This attack is supposed to be from oospores. In the Uk attacks are only found in Cornwall, In the Netherlands a handful of fields in the starch potato regionin the NothEast of the country were infected.
You can follow the disease progress for the Nordic region on Euroblight (Select Pathogens/Monitoring. Click on the icons to see background information) and the situation in The Netherlands from Dacom, Phytophthora Masterplan and from the UK at BPC, Fight Against Blight

New version of the Euroblight Research platform |
During the forthcoming days Euroblight will be upgraded to a more modern web and database platform similar to Eurowheat. Eurowheat and Euroblight will share database and applications. The first new application compared to the previous platform will be a new monitoring system to replace Web-Blight. Initially this will be a tool aiming at monitoring early attacks of potato late blight in the four Nordic countries, but it can easily be expanded to include any country in the world.
More new features and applications will be implemented during the next months
