Abstract

In a trial during 1964-6 at Parada Research Station, tobacco was planted on the flat or on ridges and fertilizer applied broadcast or in bands. No differences in yield, quality or N, P, K and Cl contents of cured leaf were recorded between ridged and flat-cultivated tobacco. Broadcasting an NPK fertilizer mixture was comparable with banding in respect of both yield and quality. Banding of fertilizers and ridging both promoted early field growth, but did not improve final yield or quality when compared with broadcasting or flat cultivation.
