Abstract

Seed of a new black shank resistant burley hybrid will be available to growers in 1964. This hybrid is especially for farmers who cannot rotate their tobacco land and . thus, are forced to set their crop in a black shank infested field. The hybrid is a cross between two black shank resistant varieties, MS L8 and Burley 37. The female parent , MS L8, carries black shank resistance from a wild relative of tobacco.
