TOBACCO NUTRITION FACTS
Tobacco is a leaf-harvested crop with specific nutritional requirements. Research shows that at maturity, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake is significant, with an early planting date producing higher biomass and greater nutrient demand.
Your Tobacco Formula provides:
-
Nitrogen (N)Β β Careful management is critical as excessive nitrogen delays maturity and increases disease susceptibility
-
Phosphorus (P)Β β Essential for strong root systems and early growth
-
Potassium (K)Β β Critical for leaf quality, burn characteristics, and disease resistance
Zimbabwean tobacco fertilization typically requires a high phosphorus and potassium blend at planting, with lower nitrogen. Studies suggest an N:P:K ratio of approximatelyΒ 1:1.4:3Β for optimal results
HOW IT WORKS
| Stage | What It Does | When to Apply |
|---|---|---|
| Seedbed | Strong seedlings, disease resistance | Weekly misting |
| Transplanting | Eliminates shock, rapid establishment | Day 0 β root dip |
| Vegetative | Thick stems, large healthy leaves | Weeks 3-6 |
| Topping | Supports wound healing, directs energy | At topping |
| Leaf Ripening | Uniform ripening, better cure | Weeks 10-14 |
HOW TO USE
For 1 Hectare:
-
MixΒ 500mlΒ of Tobacco Formula withΒ 100 litresΒ of clean water
-
Apply as soil drench or foliar spray
-
Use everyΒ 10-14 daysΒ during growing season
Critical Timing for Tobacco:
-
Basal applicationΒ β 65% of nitrogen with all phosphorus and potassiumΒ -1
-
Top dressingΒ β Remaining nitrogen within 3 weeks after transplantingΒ -1
-
Potassium before ripeningΒ β For leaf quality and burn characteristicsΒ -1
Pro Tips:
-
Carry out soil analysis before plantingΒ -7
-
Avoid placing fertilizer too close to seedlings to prevent toxicityΒ -7
-
Spray early morning or late afternoon
-
Add 1 tsp liquid soap per 10L for foliar sprays
-
Water plants before applying soil drench
-
Use non-chlorinated water for best results
