    Evaluation of NCDA&CS boron sufficiency ranges for flue-cured tobacco

    JERNIGAN C.H.(1); HARDY D.H.(1); HICKS K.A.(1); McGINNIS M.S.(1); FISHER L.R.(2); VANN M.C.(2)
    (1) North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Raleigh NC USA; (2) North Carolina State University, Raleigh NC USA
    Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for optimum plant growth of flue-cured tobacco and is required in trace amounts (<1.0 lb B/acre). Since use of premium tobacco fertilizer grades that contain trace amounts of B are not typical in today’s...

    Organic transplant production: an evaluation of nitrogen fertility programs

    VANN M.C.(1); FISHER L.R.(1); SEAGROVES R.(1); McGINNIS M.(2)
    (1) North Carolina State University, Raleigh NC USA; (2) North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Raleigh NC USA
    Organic tobacco production in North Carolina has increased in recent years. Despite increasing interest, little is known regarding the appropriate management of organic nitrogen sources in a seedling float system. Research was conducted to evaluate...

    Evaluations of float water aeration in organic transplant production

    FISHER L.R.(1); VANN M.C.(1); SEAGROVES R.(1); McGINNIS M.(2)
    (1) North Carolina State University, Raleigh NC USA; (2) North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Raleigh NC USA
    At present, the effects of float bed aeration in the production of organic tobacco seedlings are not known. Research was conducted to evaluate two organic nitrogen fertilizer programs and their effects to float water nutrient concentration and...

    Screening of acidifying chemicals for use in the production of organic tobacco seedlings

    VANN M.C.(1); SEAGROVES R.(1); SHORT M.(1); McGINNIS M.(2)
    (1) North Carolina State University, Raleigh NC USA; (2) North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Raleigh NC USA
    Float water bicarbonate concentration in excess of 2.0 meq/L (100 ppm) can result in stunted, unusable seedlings unless float water is acidified. In conventional greenhouse systems, sulfuric acid is used for this purpose; however, that chemical is...

    Influence of Quadris fungicide and foliar fertilizer brands on the holdability of flue-cured tobacco

    WHALEY W.T.; JERNIGAN C.H.
    North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services-Agronomic Division, Raleigh NC USA
    Over the past decade, tobacco farming in North Carolina has transitioned from many growers with relatively small acreage to fewer growers with more acreage. As a result, growers have experimented with various products in hopes of promoting...

    Float water alkalinity adjustment in organic seedling production

    VANN M.C.(1); STEVENS D.A.(1); SHORT M.(1); McGINNIS M.(2)
    (1) North Carolina State University, Department of Crop & Soil Sciences, Raleigh, NC, U.S.A.; (2) North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services – Agronomic Division, Raleigh, NC, U.S.A.
    Float water bicarbonate (HCO3-) concentration in excess of 2.0 meq/L (100 ppm) can result in stunted, unusable seedlings unless neutralized. In conventional greenhouse systems, sulfuric acid is used for this purpose; however, it is not currently...
