Abstract
Nitrogen plays an important role for tobacco production. Different fertilizers with various ratios of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were used to improve dark fired tobacco yields. The fertilizers used were: Hydro Plex (N-P-K;14-0-14), K Nitrate(N-P-K;13.5-0-45), Ca Nitrate(N-P-K;15.5-0-0),Triple 15(NP-K;15-15-15)and Am Nitrate(N-P-K;34-0-0). The fertilizer rates were: 13.1, 13.6,11.8,12.2, and 5.4 lbs/plot, respectively. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of different N-P-K commercial fertilizers on tobacco's yield and vigor. Our presentation will describe how important the role of N-P-K commercial fertilizer is for the tobacco's growth and yield. Complete data will be provided.
