Corn field about 100 ft (30 metres) west of greenhouse with tobacco seedlings was sprayed with Calisto and Primextra on Monday or Tuesday May 13 or 14th. Caller believes that soil from corn field was blown around during strong wind on Wednesday/Thrusday last week. The soil and attached pesticide entered greenhouse through ridge vent and impacted the tobacco seedlings. XXXXX does not believe that actual spray drift entered the greenhouse because the vents were closed at the time due to cooler temperatures.
