The field is located between Richlands and Trenton, near Comfort. We confirmed the sample this morning.
Plants are about knee high and upper leaves are sporulating heavily.
One pint of Ridomil Gold had been applied on March 15. The Ridomil Gold was probably not present by the time the blue mold spores arrived. There are probably other fields in the area with blue mold. All fields within 5 miles should be sprayed as soon as possible. Knee-high tobacco should be treated with 1 pound in 40 gallons of water per acre with at least 40 to 60 pounds of pressure to thoroughly cover plants.
