The cultivation of MH-free burley tobacco poses significant challenges due to its labor-intensive nature. Effective sucker control remains elusive, as traditional high-clearance equipment has failed to yield satisfactory results. This ongoing research explores various methods, including comparative studies on sucker control treatments, such as Butralin and Royal MH-30, assessing their impact on both control degree and yield. The study also encompasses MH-free topping methods and nozzle efficiency trials, aimed at improving production practices in Harrison County.

MH Free Tobacco Production of MH free burley tobacco is difficult and labor intensive. To achieve control hand labor is needed to run products like fatty alcohols and local systemics (Butralin or Prime+) down the stalk. Attempts to achieve acceptable sucker control using typical high clearance equipment has largely been unsuccessful. Efforts to find workable methods continue and include many different modifications of existing methods to assess potential.
