I wonder how many trips you guys make or what the procedure you use to grow tobacco or other crops.
To grow corn I start by putting down 150 lbs.potassium and 100 of potash in the late fall followed by a chiesel plow or subsoiler to tear loose the soil.
Around May 1 I go over the ground with a field cultivator, plant the seed with an insecticide and 25 units of nitrogen applied with the planter.
I then spray with a herbicide before the corn emerges.
I may or may not spray again when the corn is 6 to 12 inches tall depending on the weed pressure.
When corn is around that 12" height I apply 75 to 100 units of nitrogen.
Now it is time for mother nature to take care of it till harvest. Some fly on a fungicide after tasseling but I have not yet.
How or what is the procedure for growing tobacco or other crops in your area?
