University of Maine Cooperative Extension
Potato Program

The Potato Program team at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension provides information on potato and rotation crop production. We publish SPUDLINES three times per year during winter and Pest Alert weekly during the summer. Regional pest information is gathered through an extensive IPM program. A Pest Management Hotline has the latest details on the growing season.
