Excerpt from The Plant Disease Warning Service in 1951Concerning tobacco blue mold, absence of overwintering inoculum in certain areas prevented development of the disease. Adequate amounts of spray and dust materials were readily available and were utilized. Despite the above-normal January temperatures, light rainfall and average temperatures in the following spring months in tobacco-growing areas, together with control measures, held blue mold at a low level.Cucurbit downy mildew was active this year in regions where it is endemic on squash and cu cumbers. Cucurbit-growing areas of Texas escaped the disease this year owing to hot, dry weather conditions. A feature of downy mildew occurrence this year was the absence of its usual progressive northward development. The disease was found in one place in Virginia, was not noticed in Maryland or Delaware, but appeared in Pennsylvania.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
