Tobacco Crop Update 2004-2009: Trends, Challenges, and Future Perspectives in North Carolina

This report provided by NC State University summarizes the trends in tobacco production from 2004 to 2009 in North Carolina, detailing significant changes in acreage cultivated post-buyout. It highlights key factors affecting production, including rainfall and soil type differences between regions. The update mentions the current status of pests and diseases like Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Black Shank, with projections for yields based on continued rainfall conditions. It urges for collaborative efforts toward pesticide standards and product development to support growers.

  1. NC STATE UNIVERSITY North Carolina Update Loren R. Fisher Department of Crop Science

  2. Post Buyout FC Tobacco • North Carolina Production • 2004: 150,000 acres (Pre-buyout) • 2005: 123,000 acres • 2006: 155,000 acres • 2007: 164,000 acres • 2008: 172,000 acres • 2009: 174,000 acres NCDA-CS

  3. Crop Update • Old Belt vs East: The difference is rainfall/timing and soil type • Rockingham: 6.35 inches • Granville: 12.37 • Johnston: 11.83 • Wilson: 9.55 • Columbus: 15.65

  4. Crop Update • Below average Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus • Starting to see some Black Shank and Granville Wilt, but so far at normal to below normal levels • With continued normal rainfall, Eastern NC crop will finish early with above average yield, Old Belt likely to be late but still has potential

  5. Discussion • FDA • Additional Efforts from Universities? • Source of Support • Pesticide Residues • Meeting standards / Grower ability to monitor • Use more restrictive than EPA label • How will that affect grower cost of production? • Need for New Product Development
