Weather disease hits tobacco fields in eastern NC
Leaf disease known as weather Heck has infected thousands of tobacco fields across eastern North Carolina. Plant pathologist Furney Todd of North Carolina State University cites ground level ozone and air pollution as possible causes. Estimated losses range from 3 to 44 million dollars, with most impact from reduced yield on the lower stalks. The disease shows as black specks that turn brown, then dead tissue falls away leaving holes. There is no control. Weather variability and rapid growth of plants with tender leaves increase susceptibility.
