Updated organic potato production guide available

-

Cornell University has released an updated version of its guide for organic potato production.

TheĀ 2016 Organic Production and IPM Guide for Potatoes provides an outline of cultural and pest management practices and includes topics that have an impact on improving plant health and reducing pest problems.

While the guide is written for a U.S. audience, much of the information can certainly be applied to Canadian organic potato growers’ systems.
