Maleic hydrazide (MH) is a systemic plant growth regulator used to control “sucker” growth in flue-cured tobacco. Conventional application methods involve applying MH over the top of the plant to ensure proper coverage and effectiveness. But this...

The total energy required curing tobacco is a significant production cost for flue-cured growers and barn energy efficiency remains an important performance factor to minimize costs. The current upward trend in fuel costs is anticipated to continue...
