New Tracking System For Late Blight

A new consortium will provide nationwide tracking of late blight infections of potato and tomato, according to a Cornell University blog. A web site currently under development will allow growers to report where late blight has been found, and to sign up for email or text message notifications when late blight is found nearby.

More details will be provided over the coming weeks at http://usablight.org.
