March 22nd-
Last week (March 15-19) brought changes in the growing conditions around the state. The two previous weeks were absolutely beautiful and brought with them a much needed dry spell. Last week was generally cool and wet (again!).

At the near onset of the cold growing conditions, I had a few communications  about suspected cold injury/shock in tobacco greenhouses. In each of the situations in question, plants ranged in size from the four-leaf stage to those that were almost ready for the first clipping. Visual symptoms have been very consistent, regardless of growth stage.
