Welcome to the Maine Potato Integrated Pest Management web site. This web site provides up to date potato insect and disease scouting and forecasting reports to potato growers and industry professionals in central and northern Maine during the potato growing season. Reports are normally posted twice per week, but we will provide more frequent updates should conditions warrant.

If you are not already on our mailing list, you can subscribe to our companion Pest Alert newsletter now distributed via e-mail each Friday during the growing season. To subscribe, simply send an e-mail to ipm@mainepotatoipm.com and provide us with your e-mail address.

In addition to this web site, we have recently produced a multimedia CD-ROM that can be ordered by sending e-mail to ipm@mainepotatoipm.com. There is a nominal $5.00 fee for the CD-ROM to offset our production costs.

For more information about Maine potatoes, visit the Maine Potato Board web site at www.mainepotatoes.com. You can also find the current USGS stream flow data at water.usgs.gov. The Maine FSA is now on-line, too, at www.fsa.usda.gov/me/.
