Overview

Excerpt from Nitrogenous Fertilizers for Growing Tobacco From these experiments it was learned in addition: that the amount and distribution of rainfall during the growing season of tobacco are important factors influencing both yield and grade of tobacco; that for best results a comparatively high level of nitrates must be maintained in the soil during the period of most rapid vegetative growth; and that the form of fertilizer nitro gen used bears little or no relation to brown root - rot of tobacco. The results of these experiments appear to warrant the conclusion that a comparatively high rate of application of fertilizer nitrogen is necessary for growing Havana Seed tobacco of high yield and quality, and that no more than one half and probably as little as one fourth of the nitrogen need come from organic carriers such as cottonseed meal. This recommendation assumes soil and other conditions closely similar to those of these experiments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
