Blight or Blackleg

Forget it. Blight is hosted by too many wild plants for that to work, and is carried by the wind. We used to lead the world in agricultural research, but the DTI always loathed that, and Thatcher allowed them to destroy it. Breeding resistant varieties is the only long-term solution, though Bordeaux mixture can help. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
