Conducted on an Ocilla loamy sand soil fertilized with 1100 lbs/a of 6-6-18 and 163 lbs/a 15.5-0-0 with plants
spaced 20-22 inches apart in 44-inch rows.
1. Price Index based on two year average (2008-2009) prices for U.S. government grades.
2. Numerical values ranging from 1-99 for flue-cured tobacco based on equivalent government grades - higher
the number, higher the grade.
3. No Data; this entry was chemically topped with sucker control materials.
Researched by Stevan S. LaHue and C.E. Troxell supported by grants from the Georgia Tobacco Commission.
