A Newsletter for Commercial Potato and Vegetable Growers Prepared by the University of Wisconsin Madison Vegetable Research and Extension Specialists

Click here for our UW Madison Division of Extension Vegetable Crop Updates Newsletter #4. In this issue we address:

• potato production updates (ramifications of hot and dry!)
• potato disease model updates for early blight and late blight (updated locations)
• onion Botrytis
• Colorado potato beetle, Potato leafhopper, Seedcorn maggot updates

Please note that we changed the date for our Wisconsin Seed Potato Certification & Wisconsin Potato Coalition Stark’s Farm Field Day to July 20, 2023. Additionally, I’ve added the Organic Vegetable Production Conference event in February 2023. Thank you to Claire Strader for sharing.
