Effect of date of planting and plant spacing on open grown wrapper tobacco production.
1983
Pambid A.R.
Higher percentage of wrapper but lesser number of harvested leaves and lower yield, were produced in later planting (Dec 10) than those planted earlier (Nov 20 and 30). Leaves produced from November planting had higher percentage of filler. Plants spaced at 60 cm between rows resulted to higher cured yield and similar number of harvested leaves and percentage of wrapper, filler and binder leaves to those with 80 and 70 cm spacings. At 30 cm distance between hills, a lesser number of leaves was harvested but highest yield (4.86 t/ha) and the highest percentage of wrapper leaves were produced. The study reveals that yield and percent wrapper leaves can be increased if planted as late as December 10 using 60 cms between rows and 30 cms between hills.
