KY 14xL8 LC is an early maturing burley tobacco with a spreading growth habit and a small stalk size. Under steady management, it can produce strong yields with good leaf color. Early topping is important, since it helps keep sucker growth in check.
This variety offers high resistance to mosaic, wildfire, and black shank Race 0. It also shows medium resistance to black root rot and fusarium wilt. It has no resistance to black shank Race 1, so fields with Race 1 pressure may need extra care.

Tobacco seeds are tiny and look like dust, but each one has the potential to quickly grow into a huge tobacco plant. They need light to germinate. Sprinkle the seeds onto the surface of a moist and sterile seed starting mix. Do not cover the seeds. They also must never be allowed to dry out, so they are frequently (but gently) watered using a mist from a spray bottle. While waiting for germination, it can help to cover them with some kind of plastic sheeting to help hold moisture.
Once tiny seedlings emerge, you can pick them out one by one and move them into individual cells. Very lightly fertilize and never allow the potting soil to dry out. Within 6 weeks it'll be ready to plant in the garden. Wait until all risk of frost is over before planting outdoors.
