Burley Allotments For 1971 From Tennessee Farms
Burley tobacco growers face uncertain allotments for 1971 as the official release is postponed to March 1. Extension agent J W McClain suggests planning roughly the same as 1970 and outlines soil and crop practices to improve yields. He recommends sod land like fescue or orchard grass, early plowing, crop rotation to curb disease, heavy fertilization, liming for acidity, and manure applications. Varieties favored include Burley 21X Ky 10 and Virginia 60% with specific resistance profiles to wilt, mosaic, black root rot, and other pests.
