Title:
Research on the mechanical strength of tobacco plants, 1963-1964
Description:
This folder contains data charts, line graphs, research notes, and reports related to studies on the mechanical strength of tobacco and ways to efficiently harvest the crop with low failure. The research gathered statistics on the strength of tobacco stalks and tissue, as well as the difference in efficiency among different tobacco varieties.
