There’s a right time for spraying
and a wrong time. The button stage
(early flower bud) is the wrong time.
All MH-30 labels and literature
stress the correct time to apply,
proper equipment and spray pro
cedures. Be sure by following the
label instructions. - - -
WAIT-DONT HARVEST TILL FULLY RIPE

MH-30 suckered plants take longer to ripen because there are no suckers to
' sap strength from the leaf. MH-30 may prematurely turn your top 4-6 leaves
yellow. This is not an indication of ripeness, nor does it affect the quality. You
can tell when your MH-30 treated tobacco is ripe by;
a. Leaving some untreated plants as a guide.
b. By taking one of your upper leaves and bending it between your
thumb and forefinger. If the leaf cracks crisply, your tobacco is ripe.
Harvest mature tobacco for a high-quality leaf whether MH-30 is used or not.
By application of MH-30 at the proper time and rate, you can be sure your
tobacco will “field-ripen” without deterioration or loss of leaf. Follow these and
other proper-practices you know about and you will grow fine quality tobacco..
