Abstract

It is a recognised principle that to agricultural workers in all walks of life whether in the field or in the laboratory, the most essen- tial function is to help the cultivators to meet their needs. Researcli, education and propaganda in the field of agriculture have hitherto progressed in a co-ordinated manner in dealing with the problems of the cultivators. However, the chewing variety of tobaco is one which has not received due attention in Madras State until very recently. The object of the paper is to present and discuss the different problems which need such a co-ordinated effort of all concerned to impart practical knowledge to tobacco cultivators in the scientific method of cultivation.
