Late blight affecting the NorthEast

Elliot · July 13, 2009

In Newsday our local paper and even on the Ralph Snodsmith show as well as other media there are scary stories about this new fungus which is killing tomato plants. Snodsmith interviewd a plant disease specialist from Cornel University who said that if the spores hit a tomato plant it can kill it in three days.

Has anyone on this board been hit yet with this? Is there anyone out there who is accessible doing research on ways of preventing it?
