Evaluation Of Super Absorbent Polymer (hipro-aqua) On The Growth, Yield And Quality Of Tobacco (nicotiana Tabacum L.) Under Various Irrigation Regimes

Abstract  Drought is the most important limiting factor in the production of crops in agriculture; it is becoming an increasingly severe problem, sharpening its ends due to dynamic changes in climatic variables. Tobacco is one of the major cash crops that is being grown by many farmers, but its production potential is often constrained by the scarcity of water and poor productivity of sandy soil. In order to counteract the problem of water scarcity, the researcher hereby sought to investigate on the effects of a novel technology towards water conservation and potential production of tobacco in…
