Frost can cause considerable damage to tobacco, but not as much as the
wrong management practices.
Cutting recently damaged tobacco can leave green in the cured leaf producing a
highly undesirable product.
Tobacco that has suffered frost damage should be left standing in the
field until the sun has bleached the
damaged leaf (approximately 4 day). Tobacco may droop and turn a brownish
color, but can cure to an
acceptable color if managed right.
