Premature yellowing of leaves and dry conditions causing leaves to drop in Whitman County, Washington
9/18/2018 2:31:52 PM



CATEGORIES:
Plants & Wildlife
AFFECTED AREAS:
Whitman County, WA

Start Date: 9/17/2018 - End Date: 9/17/2018
Continued dry conditions with lower day and night temps. Harvest continuing with garbanzo beans which are a very dusty crop this harvest. Air quality continues to be poor but increasing with decrease in forest fire activity. A bit more rain would clear the air. Leaf drop from dry conditions heavy and premature leaf coloring. Many plants will be stressed going into dormancy due to low precip this summer. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Palouse 3.2 SSW on 9/17/2018
