Potato Program Pest Control Guide

Potato Program


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.
