Weather fleck or physiolo gical leafspot is recognized by small, brown (early stage) to whits spots (late stage) scattered over the leaf surface. The num ber of lesions on a leaf varies con siderably from a few to several hundred, depending upon the seve rity of the disease. It has been affecting mostly the lower leaves and in many cases, they have been completely destroyed. Ozone has been found to be the primary causal agent. The re sults of research tests indicate 'that symptoms show up within 24- 48 hours after exposure to this chemical. A small amount of ozone is pre sent in the atomsphere. This a mount is greater in the upper at mosphere than it is nearer the ground. It is believed that under normal conditions, there is not enough present to produce symp toms on tobacco. However, dur ing, cloudy, rainy weather with high humidity, .it is heBeved (hat ozone is earned downward in a- mounts high enough' to canse in jury on tobacco. A concentration of 0.25 parts pef million will in jure tobacco after two hours of exposure. It seems that weather fleck oc curs most commonly when the plant is growing fairly rapidly, coupled with low night tempera tures. This indicates why it has been worse on our larger tobacco in the county. There is no control for weather fleck, however, as a rule the in B. caused by this trouble doee not result in a great deal Of dam age to tobacco.
