Dr. Moore's responsibilities are to develop and implement Extension educational programs on producing and managing flue-cured tobacco. He works closely with County Extension agents, researchers and commodity and agribusiness groups to provide sound, research-based recommendations to assist Georgia farmers in producing high quality flue-cured tobacco. As Tobacco Specialist, he coordinates the educational efforts of a team of specialists who have worked together to provide agents and growers alike the most up-to-date and factual information on tobacco production, harvesting, curing and marketing available. Educational programs lead by Dr. Moore have resulted in reduced maleic hydrazide (MH) residues and increased sucker control, the evaluation and adoption of baling cured leaf, and the convertion of curing barn furnaces to indirect heat using heat exchangers. |

| 1147010 | genetic abnormalities | Genetically abnormal tobacco plants, while usually of little or no economic importance, may be confused with infectious disease or chemical injuries. These abnormalities may be called monstosities, malformations, enations, anamolies, throwbacks, kickbacks, or runouts. It is unusual to find more than one of these abnormal plants in a field. Most fields contain none. Chimeras or variegated tobacco plants have irregular patches on the leaves that vary in color from creamy-white to yellow-green and give the plant a marbled or mottled appearance. Most variegated plants attain normal size, bloom normally, and produce seed. Sometimes abnormally shaped leaves appear on the affected plant. Patterns may be seen in the cured leaves from variegated plants. Another example of genetic abnormality is ruffles. Leaf margins roll downward, and leaves curve downward. Petioles may be elongated. The leaf blade margin may form pouches or folds upon itself, especially along veins on the underside of the leaf. | |
