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: 32% UAN (N-P-K;32-0-0), Ammonium Nitrate (N-P-K; 34-0-0), Calcium Nitrate (N-P-K; 15.5-0-0), Yara Mila (N-P-K; 15-15- 15), Yara Mila (N-P-K; 21-7-14) and Hydro Comp (N-P-K; 14-0-14). The results for this project will be discussed in our poster.
