Blue mold was reported from shade tobacco in Somers CT August 20, 2014
Blue mold was reported on August 20, 2014 on shade tobacco in Somers CT. Disease was limited in distribution to a small area that was destroyed but there were at least two generations of lesions present in the field. This is the first report of blue mold from CT. This is late in the season and dry conditions may limit spread of the pathogen. However, be aware that undetected blue mold may be present and report any new finds to the Experiment Station.
