Manitoba Potato Report
The Manitoba Potato Report is emailed weekly to potato growers, consultants and agronomists starting late May or early June and continues through the growing season. The report provides information on seeding and harvest progress, on crop development and condition, and on pest related issues including weeds, insects and diseases. The report also includes weather information from weather stations situated throughout the potato growing area of Manitoba. Weather data is used to calculate the late blight disease severity index, and to determine the potato crop water demand.
