Very proud of these two today! Sharing results from their research with producers about production practices and foliar disease management at the Burley Tobacco Tour at the @UKAgriculture.

We hope to see you at Highland Rim!
The 2023 Tobacco, Beef and More Field Day is coming soon to the UT Highland Rim AgResearch and Education Center! Tobacco farmers, beef producers & home gardeners are invited to pick up some helpful tips on Thursday, June 29, in Springfield, TN.

We hit #threshold for our dark #tobacco flea beetle trial earlier this week. That means it was time to spray some treatments. Nothing like a nice hot day for some Tyvek and a backpack! @UTPlantSciences @UTIAg @utextension @UTAgResearch

Fiber #hemp trials at UT are looking good. Our late April and early May planting dates are showing promise. We may be harvesting some plots later this month! @utextension @UTAgResearch @UTPlantSciences

We have hit the field with some #hemp experiments. We are evaluating tillage practices, planting dates, and varieties for #fiber, #grain, and dual-purpose. @UTPlantSciences @UTAgResearch @utextension #UTIASpecialtyCrops

#Ginseng progress in our #greenhouse. Shade cloth is up! @UTIAg @UTAgResearch @UTPlantSciences #UTIASpecialtyCrops
We have ventured into #ginseng research at #UTIASpecialtyCrops. We have plans for greenhouse and wild-simulated trials. Stay tuned for updates! Have an experience that you would like to share? @UTAgResearch @UTPlantSciences
Tobacco greenhouse trials are underway! We appreciate the help from the folks at Northeast Tennessee REC. (Photo credit:@alyamanita) @utextension @UTPlantSciences #UTIASpecialtyCrops
Save the date! TN-KY Tobacco Expo on February 1, 2022. Registration and Trade Show starts at 7:30am at the Robertson County Fairgrounds. Agronomy, Pathology, and GAP sessions occur between 8:30 and 11:20am. Lunch to follow! @utextension @UTPlantSciences @UTSpecialtyCrop
Applied #research geared towards @utextension. We are looking at two topping heights (14 vs. 18 leaves) with #tobacco transplanted with or without ridges. Labor reduction is the objective to allow for better efficacy of sucker control products. @UTPlantSciences @UTAgResearch
We harvested our #hemp with the plot combine yesterday at Highland Rim @UTAgResearch Center. This trial was evaluating a dual-purpose model where we harvest the grain and fiber. @UTIAg @UTPlantSciences
Today we hand harvested our dual purpose #hemp for fiber and grain experiment looking at multiple cultivars. Thanks to the amazing crew at HRREC for the hard work today! Next year we need to look into some better weed control. @UTIAg @UTAgResearch @utextension
Dr. Hansen (@UTSpecialtyCrop ) and I are hiring a Research Specialist to work with the Specialty Crop Team at UT. We focus on applied research to improve production practices and disease management in specialty crops relevant to TN. Please pass the word!

What a sight! A nice background with all major types of tobacco that are grown in TN. These plots provide data for producers to help with production decisions. #Appliedresearch for #extension. @UTIAg @UTAgResearch @utextension
Take a look at some pictures from our dual-purpose #hemp trial. We will be harvesting some early cultivars in the next couple of weeks! @UTIAg @UTAgResearch @utextension
Take a look at the latest CBD variety trials at UT from 2020.
Check out our latest Extension publication with results of our 2020 essential-oil (CBD) hemp variety trials in Tennessee. Data includes yield (biomass & cannabinoids), plant size, disease susceptibility, and corn earworm damage. Available here extension.tennessee.edu/publ…
The best kind of classroom! Dr. Zachariah Hansen @UTSpecialtyCrop shares some information about angular leaf spot, which is one of the major issues in tobacco production in TN. I am already looking forward to next year! @UTIAg @utextension @epp_tn @UTPlantSciences
I’ve said it before, but what a cool classroom. In the photo, Dr. Mitchell Richmond @UTAgronomy gives a research update in a tobacco barn at the Tobacco, Beef & More field day. @UTIAg @utextension @epp_tn @UTPlantSciences @UTAgResearch
