An Overview Document and Fact Sheet on integrated management strategies for late blight were prepared with
participation of representatives of the Federal and provincial governments, national associations, growers and pesticide
manufacturers, the US Environmental Protection Agency and US National Potato Council.
Although biological control options were not identified during this project, the project does promote the use of integrated
pest management, leading to more effective and sustainable management of this disease, reduced need for emergency
registrations of pesticides, reduced spread of pesticide resistance, and more judicious and targeted use of pesticides in
concert with other techniques.
More than 5000 copies of the Fact Sheet alone have been requested by project participants for distribution to growers
and others across Canada and in the United States, and the Fact Sheet has been incorporated into some provincial
grower guides.
A description of the project and copies of the document are available on the Web at:

Folks: can someone direct me to possible biological control options
for late blight of potato, caused by Phytophthora infestans? I'd be
interested in learning about on-farm as well as regional control
measures that might have been tried. Thanks in advance. Ann
