Growing Time (The Summer Months)

The first few weeks of growth are critical to the tobacco plant. Keeping out weeds and fertilizing the crop will optimize yield and is very labor intensive. The plant has a rich green color throughout the growing season. Below, the first photo shows a field of tobacco that has been set for about five weeks. The other photos show plants that have been in the field for about 60-70 days.
