Almost too good to be true. This is what I learn when started planting tobacco. Today, I pull out one of the largest plant in my garden because of the curly diseases. It started last week when my cat decided to use the leaf of that plant as their toilet paper. Peaving a big pile of cat feces on my tobacco. Few days after that, the curly disease started. Then after I pulled out that one, the neighbouring plant start to show early symptom, which of course, the second largest plant I have.
This is the spot for the pulled plant. Forgot to take pic of the plant before I pulled it.

This is the sign of disease. Notice the new leaves has some black spot on the tip if you can see it. I dont know whether the hornworms that make refuge there or the disease, but new growth seems to ba affected. If there is no new horizontal growth these few days, it maybe the curly disease.
However, the rest of the farm seems unafected. Yet.
on the other side of the garden, looks like the 401Cherry Red are affected by different kind of disease. I think it is frenching, as the curly virus directly affect the horizontal growth of the tobacco.
However, thank god my potted plant do unusually well this time.
I thought the potted plant will be the backup. With thing turn out like this, I think my garden plant become the backup for my potted plant.
