Price schedules will reflect an emphasis on quality, with deep discounts for unripe and immature grades. In the postbuyout environment, profitability will be directly related to the marketing of quality tobacco produced at the lowest cost. A number of management practices affect tobacco quality. Some of the most important are as follows: 在2005年,煙草將自1939年以來第一次在沒有價(jià)格支持下生產(chǎn)和銷售。價(jià)格表將反映對煙葉質(zhì)量的重視,未熟等級將大幅降價(jià)。在后煙草配額買斷的環(huán)境下,利潤將直接與以最低成本生產(chǎn)的優(yōu)質(zhì)煙草的銷售相關(guān)。 很多農(nóng)藝措施影響煙草的質(zhì)量,最重要的一些措施有:? Nitrogen rate and time of application ? Topping and sucker control with minimal MH residues? Harvest rate and ripeness? Leaf separation by stalk position●氮肥的施用量和施用時(shí)間 ●打頂和最少馬來酰肼殘留的腋芽控制 ●采收速率和成熟度 ●葉片分部位采收Nitrogen Rate and Time of ApplicationNitrogen is the most
