ITB 5109
BurleyAromatic
ITB 5109 is a medium-early maturing aromatic Burley hybrid combining high blue mold intermediate resistance with good leaf quality potential. The plant shape is short with erect leaves, facilitating stalk harvesting by either mechanical or manual means and curing. ITB 5109 should not be stalk-cut too late to avoid higher nicotine levels.
