Presentation Transcript

  1. MH Free Tobacco Trials were conducted in Jessamine County to study the mechanical application of sucker control chemicals that do not contain Maleic Hydrazide. Although initial results were encouraging, none of the treatments provide acceptable control in the end. Control has been well documented with methods that run Butralin, Flupro or Prime+ down the stalk. However, such methods are slower and labor intensive and not likely to be adopted by larger growers.
