Participate to learn the concepts of no-till tobacco and how to properly plan and manage for success. These concepts work for any transplanted crop.
This webinar will address the reasons for producing tobacco without tillage, as well as some of the challenges involved in establishing and managing no-till tobacco. We will discuss planning and management lessons learned, including transplanter setup for no-till systems, and how this information can be transferred to other transplanted crops. Results of side-by-side trials comparing no-till and conventionally produced tobacco, and the soil health benefits that are already being observed in these system will be presented.
