Studies of Low-Nicotine Flue-Cured Tobacco Production
Flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) has been managed to optimize the yield of high-quality cured leaf while maintaining nicotine levels within a relatively narrow range based on the Regional Minimum Standards Program. Among the 3,000 plus alkaloids found in tobacco, nicotine accounts for greater …

Strip-till flue-cured tobacco production in Virginia
Flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is an intensively cultivated crop that typically receives four to eight primary tillage passes before being transplanted on a raised row-ridge. Strip-tillage, a conservation tillage system that only requires tilling a small strip before transplanting, has …

Strip-Tillage Production Systems for Tobacco
Conservation tillage production systems for flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) have been studied for many years. Inadequate chemical weed control and lack of acceptable pesticide and fertilizer application resulted in consistently lower yields and inferior cured leaf quality. The development …
