They set PD7305LC early because it handles the stress of cool nights.

4 growers What say... I grow 1,000 acres of transplants every year. A lot of my customers like the combination of PD7305LC and PD7309LC. They set PD7305LC early because it handles the stress of cool nights. They set PD7309LC later and it will stand in the field until they are ready to cut it. Rick Wilkerson 2016 Murray, KY

5 I use mostly F.W. Rickard Seeds tobacco seed. They offer more varieties than the other seed companies and have the PD varieties that everyone wants. Jay Head 2016 Clarksville, TN
