Potato Pest Control Guide
The Potato Program team at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension provides information on potato production. We update the pesticide recommendations annually by May; more frequently if new products become labeled. This is not an exhaustive list of materials labeled on potatoes in Maine; this is a list of recommended chemicals.
