The NJ Dept. of Ag, Helena Chemical, and the Cumberland County Solid Waste Complex are offering a series dates for free plastic pesticide container recycling disposal. These are offered to agricultural, professional and commercial applicators holding a NJDEP Pesticide Applicators License. State, county and municipal government agencies may also participate. Spread the word and recruit participants for this free service – we are hoping to exceed last year’s collections.

This is a good reminder for all tomato and potato growers in New Jersey and surrounding region to scout on a regular basis. No late blight has been reported in New Jersey to date. For more information on late blight and to track its progress in the US please visit USAblight.
