Absolutely not.  If bees worked potatoes at all they could not be kept
here.  But when tractors are out spraying for blight you can smell it easily
from the road or another field.  There is a reason why PEI gets 20 per cent
of its electricity from the wind,  and sometimes farmers do not have enough
calm days to get their spraying done.

On potatoes it is mixed in a liquid.  Same on blueberries.  Brand name is
BRAVO.
