Farmers in Leitrim have been urged to take action as a Yellow-level potato blight advisory has been issued for the county.
The warning, which came into effect this afternoon (June 11), will remain in place until midnight on Saturday, June 14.
The advisory has been issued due to weather conditions favorable for the spread of potato blight—a serious threat to crops during the growing season.
