- Intervention effect Increased soil moisture tension decreased total leaf area development, rate of leaf area development and total dry weight of leaves.
- Intervention effect Irrigation of stressed tobacco plants increased growth rates, which did not exceed those of continually nonstressed plants except near maturity.
- Intervention effect Increased moisture tension delayed maturity of burley tobacco.
- Intervention effect Increased moisture tension decreased the quality of burley tobacco.
- Intervention effect Increased moisture tension increased the ratio of leaf weight to stalk weight in burley tobacco.
