How to plant tobacco

Tobacco is a commodity pretty much cultivated by farmers. To obtain optimal yields of CV. Port Numbay International trying to help increase production in quantity, quality and sustainability (Aspects of K-3).

 GROWTH CONDITIONS

Tobacco plants, the average rainfall 2000 mm / year, suitable temperature between 21-32 degrees C, pH between 5-6. Loose soil, crumbs, easy to bind water, have good water and good air so as to improve drainage, altitude between 200-3000 m above sea level.

Nurseries
- The number of seeds + 8-10 g / ha, depending on spacing.
- Seeds of intact, no disease and no wrinkles
- Media seedling = mixture of soil (50%) + mature manure mixed with Natural GLIO (50%). Dose of fertilizer for each square meter media seedling is 70 grams and 35 grams ZA DS and fill in polybag
- Given the auspices of the nursery beds in the form of leaves, roof 1 m high and 60 cm East side West side.
- The seeds soaked in 5 cc per glass of warm water for 1-2 hours and dry it.
- Seedlingon bud in the tray / winnowing of straw or paper backed with cloth until slightly damp. Three days later the seedlings are roots showed marked with white spots. At this stage the new seeds can be planted.

HOW TO PLANTING
Dampen and tear polybags and seedlings buried neck deep roots
Planting time in the morning or late afternoon.

Stitching
Stitching done 1-3 weeks after planting, poor seed removed and replaced with new seedlings of the same age.

Weeding
Weeding can be done simultaneously with pembumbunan ie every 3 weeks.

Fertilization
Dosage depends on soil types and varieties

Macro Fertilizers Fertilization Time Dose (kg / ha)
Urea / ZA SP - 36 KCl
When Planted - 300 -
Age 7 HST 300-150
Age 28 HST 300-150
TOTAL 600 300 300
Note: DAT = days after planting

NASA POC Spraying 4-5 doses cap / tank or better NASA POC (3-4 lid) mixed HORMONIK (1-2 cap) per tank every 1-2 weeks.

Irrigation and watering
Irrigation is given seven HST = 1-2 lt water / plant, ages 7-25 HST = 3-4 lt / plant, ages 25-30 HST = 4 lt / plant. At the age of 45 HST = 5 liters per plant every 3 days.At age 65 HST watering was stopped, except when the weather is very dry.

Pruning
Trim the leaves and flower buds armpit every 3 days
Prune when flowers bloom plant shoots with 3-4 leaves below the flower
PEST AND DISEASE CONTROL

PEST
a. Armyworm (Spodoptera litura) Symptoms: in the form of irregular holes and white on the bite wound. Control: Prune and burn the nest eggs and caterpillars, inundation moment in the morning / afternoon, Natural spray VITURA

b. Silkworm Land (Agrotis ypsilon) Symptoms: leaf fell ill with holes, especially the young leaves that fall petiole. Control: Cut leaves the nest egg / caterpillar, inundation moment, spray PESTONA.

c. Shoot borer caterpillar (Heliothis sp.) Symptoms: leaf shoots of plants infected with holes and finished. Control: collected and destroyed eggs / worm, sanitation garden, spray PESTONA.

d. Nematodes (Meloydogyne sp.) Symptoms: the roots of plants to look round boils, plants stunted, wilt, leaf fall and eventually die. Control: Sanitation garden, giving GLIO early planting, PESTONA

e. Lice - alliance (Aphis Sp, Thrips sp, Bemisia sp.) Carriers of viral diseases.Control: predatory Koksinelid, Natural BVR.

f. Other Pests digger (Gryllus mitratus), crickets (Brachytrypes portentosus), orong-orong (Gryllotalpa Africana), geni ant (Solenopsis geminata), grasshopper sissy (Engytarus tenuis).

Disease

a. Charred stems (damping off) Cause: The fungus Rhizoctonia solani. Symptoms: Infected plants stem will dry and brown to black as if burned. Control: remove and burn affected plants, beginning with Natural GLIO prevention.
