Strong tobacco "Russkaya mahorka" (Aztec tobacco Mapacho) - Nicotiana rustica.
An annual plant, about 90 cm high. The leaves are large, wrinkled, light or dark green in colour, and reach economic suitability 60-90 days after planting the seedlings in a permanent place. During the growing season, an average of 20 leaves of excellent quality can be collected from one plant.
The leaves contain several times more nicotine than most types of smoking tobacco.
Strong tobacco is grown for the protecting plants from pests. Strong tobacco leaves contain several times higher nicotine (about 5-15%) than most types of smoking tobacco.
The plant is thermophilic, prefers loamy or sandy loam soils, and requires constant moisture supply (drought reduces the quality of raw materials).
Sowing of seedlings is carried out at the end of March-April. Before sowing, the container is filled with slightly moist soil (three parts sandy loam turf soil and one part well-rotted and sifted humus), the surface is compacted and leveled. The seeds are evenly distributed over the surface, lightly pressed into the substrate, moistened with a spray bottle and covered with film. The crops are placed in a bright, warm place, watered through a tray, and ventilated every day (raise the film for 30 minutes).
Young plants are planted in open ground in the middle - end of May at a distance of 50-70 cm. When 2-3 flowers in an inflorescence open, topping (removing the inflorescence) is carried out, and at the same time part of the upper leaves are removed. When the side shoots grow by 5-7 cm, pinching is carried out. 8-12 leaves are left on the plant to ripen.
Strong tobacco is harvested with whole plants in the phase of technical maturity of the leaves of the middle tier (30-40 days after harvesting). Technically mature leaves are characterized by dense tissue, droop to the ground, become covered with light yellow spots, and become brittle.
1,0 g = 700 seeds.
